I remember growing up in the Island of Puerto Rico. The Spanish culture is one that likes to enjoy the good things in life. The small towns in Puerto Rico, when I was growing up, were what towns throughout the U.S. are trying to achieve now….that Main Street type of atmosphere. That sense of being able to walk the sidewalks, greet your neighbors and plenty of times, be invited for a good cup of coffe, by a neighbor or relative…Cafe con Lefche, which is coffee with milk, or a Cafe Cortado, which only has some milk, or the classic Spanish Pocillo. The coffee would be accompanied by a sweet pastry or cake.
Which brings me to my short post. Leo Cabrera is the owner of Modern Mixture, located at 62A Rehoboth Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-227-0600. Website? http://www.modern-mixture.com His restaurant is the talk of the town. Leo serves food that is fresh, healthy and exciting. He closes on Tuesdays and on Sundays he is open until 3 p.m. Otherwise, he is open. You may call him and ask him what’s cooking on that particular day.
Modern Mixture is casual and Leo prepares great specialty drinks.
So, when Leo called me to tell me that he had fig cakes for me I ran. The cakes were made with fig jam, from the figs tha I had given him. They were so good and brought me those memories above mentioned….particularly the coffee at my grandmother’s house.
The little fig cakes had just the right amout of sweetness…the fig jam doing its job. A little bit of cheese, complemented the fig jam. The consistency was light and it reminded me a bit of cheesecake….definitely lighter, though.
I liked them so much I decided that they belonged as a featured post. Thank you Leo….I loved them!! So simple and sweet.
Note: Stop by on Friday, 10/8 and Saturday, 10/9 at Modern Mixture from 6 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. when Dru Tevis will be making yeast donuts fresh and to order.
