Product Description Now in its 15th printing, Puerto Rican Cookery has become the standard reference on traditional native cookery (cocina criolla). Accurate and easy-to-follow recipes assure the success of every dish. " . . . considered today to be the definitive book(s) on island cooking."--Craig Claiborne, The New York Times.
Yum Yum October 21, 2008 There are some great Puerto Rican dishes but the art of cooking them is being lost. This book helps to preserve it. The selection of recipes is excellent if not sometimes written in broken English.
Okay June 9, 2008 First let me start by saying that I am ethnic myself and cook many different types of foods. This book was okay, I have purchased better books with more interesting and flavorful recipes.
Salsa for your appetite January 24, 2008 This book is amazing if you want an authentic Puerto rican taste to satisfy your soul.
A little piece of my abuela... July 26, 2007 When my abuela passed in December 2006 we were immediately overwhelmed with distributing her things. I came across an old copy of Cocina Criolla, but gave it to her sister-in-law because, unfortunately my mother nor I were taught Spanish. Coming across the English version has been wonderful. Abuela and I were planning to cook together this year, which I plan to do solo. It brings back fond memories of her and her food. I am happy to carry on that tradition.
Great wedding gift!! July 21, 2007 I knew that I was finally in my future mother-in-law's good graces when she gave me a copy of this book as a present shortly before my wedding to her son. I had been struggling along with her spanish version of the book, and she knew I was trying to cook in a way that she approved of, so when I got this book I knew that I had finally won the heart of a puerto rican matriarch, and we know how hard that can sometimes be! I have since gone on to master many of the recipes, and my husband says that my cooking rivals that of his mother and grandmother!
