The Classic ... December 6, 2008 This is "the" absolute classic for Puerto Rican cuisine. The recipes are very precise and easy to follow. The hardest part is to find the ingredients in the USA ! I tried the beef stew and came out exceptionally good ! My wife is from Ecuador and she uses it to prepare authentic Puerto Rican dishes for me. Highly recommended.
El ne plus ultra de la cocina puertorriquena November 19, 2008 Este libro es el clasico regalo de bodas, el primer libro de cocina de todos, la referencia obligada, el recetario que mas puertorriquenos conocen, aprecian y anoran. No hay mas que buscar. Decadas, generaciones y docenas de ediciones mas tarde, este libro no pierde, sino que gana vigencia como el mejor y el mas completo. La maxima autoridad sobre la cocina puertorriquena. El unico otro que se le acerca es Cocine Conmigo, de Dora Romano, y que hasta cierta medida podria complementar este.
Es tan bueno, que a veces me siento a leerlo sin tener intenciones de cocinar. En estos tiempos de comodidad y apuro, la autora no solo nos pide leche de coco, sino que nos dice como partir el fruto y extraer la sustancia, sin mencionar para nada el producto enlatado de facil uso pero poca poesia.
Quizas lo mas que me gusta es descubrir recetas ya olvidadas por la memoria colectiva y poder rescatarlas y ofrecerselas a otros con la esperanza de que tomen nuevos vuelos y se vuelvan otra vez populares.
En resumen, recomendacion total.
Infancia September 6, 2008 Excellent book I couldn't wait to get it and now that I got it I can not put it down. Any Puerto Rican has been familiar with some if not with most recipes in this book is the bible of puertorican cookery.
A must have August 29, 2008 My mom still has the book she used when I was growing up in PR, all tattered and the cover is long gone. When I moved to the States I asked my dad to send me a copy. This book is a must have if you like to eat PR food. A great investment. It comes in English as well. I specially like the cake recipes and you'll learn how to make sofrito like a pro.
Estupenda compra del mejor libro de cocina puertorriquena May 27, 2008 El libro es estupendo y lo consegui mucho mas barato que en las librerias, sin ningun tipo de problema ni esfuerzo, gracias Amazon!!!
