CleoTV

Bren lays out a brunch with all things Cuban, including a watermelon and chard gazpacho, spicy ancho chile, cilantro short ribs with fluffy eggs, and truffle fry wedges.

Culture Kitchen

Brunch Life

Simple, delicious and stacked-with-flavor sandwiches, including a pesto and garlicky Cuban-style steak sandwich, and a blackened salmon sandwich; both are served with shoestring potatoes.

Slammin' Sandwiches

Bren invites her brothers and sisters over for some of the food they grew up eating, including carne asada, arroz congri, sweetened fried plantains, pollo en fricase, and toasted coconut flan.

We Are Family

It's all about small plates with big flavor when Bren shows how to make some of her favorite tapas, including a delicious ceviche and her favorite recipe for chicken croquettes.

Tapas, Tapas, Tapas

Bren searches for the best street food in D.C. and returns to her kitchen to put a spin on the things she tasted, including surf and turf quesadillas, stuffed yucca balls with mint relish, and agua de Jamaica.

Street Eats

Bren's best friend, Simone, joins her for lollipop lamb chops with mint and parsley relish, butternut squash purée with sage and pistachios, and pan roasted wild mushrooms, and lemon basil martinis.

Girlfriend Night

Bren shows the ladies how to hold it down in the kitchen with Chilean sea bass with papaya beurre blanc and earthy lentils, served with cauliflower char.

Get Your Man Dinner

Bren cooks seafood paella where lobster is the star of the show, and a meaty chicken, beef and chorizo paella; both are served with her father's famous sangria.

Paellas Everyday All Day!

Bren shows how to throw a fabulous dinner for guest DJ "D-Nice," and keeps the meal true to her Cuban roots with a traditional ropa vieja, tostones with orange mojo, and island coconut rice.

Dinner at Brens

Bren invites over her friend Leslye for lunch, and it's a nod to the Kentucky Derby with fried chicken biscuit sliders, deviled eggs, cream cheese stuffed guava shells on Cuban crackers, a charcuterie board, and mint juleps.

Talk Derby to Me…

Bren shares her Afro-Latina roots in her cooking style as she cooks Jamaican-style oxtails, black beans, arroz blanco, yucca con mojo, and a mango mojito that goes down easy.

My Afro-Cuban Table

It's all about the weekend as Bren cooks casarecce with basil pesto, tomatoes, and sirloin tips, and a peach skillet with tropical granola and coconut ice cream.
