Product Description
Encompassing the history, the heritage, and the future of Puerto Rican cuisine, Ortiz traces the influence of native Taino culture, Spanish conquerors, African slaves, and American merchants. Dispelling the myth that Puerto Rican cooking begins and ends with rice and beans, she presents over 200 recipes that reflect the culinary diversity of the island itself.

 A Taste of Puerto Rico October 19, 2009
Willys N. Rosario (Monroe, NC)
The book is full of good old receipts dating from back when Indians walked the land.
It gives the reader a bit of a home cooked meal. The many dishes keep the tongue wanting more and more. The reading and ease of following instructions help to produce and meal fit for a family.
 cookie disaster September 27, 2008

I tried the recipe for the Coconut Guava Cookie. This recipe was a disaster. The ingredients were butter, coconut, sugar and vanilla. The cookies are to cook at 350. However, there is nothing to hold the cookie together and butter does exactly what butter does... it melts and there was a huge mess. This recipe should include flour. The ingredients make a great icing but they do not make a cookie.

This book is great!!. This is the second time that I buy this book. I brought it to give away as a gift, for a male friend who wants to learn how to cook spanish food (Puerto Rican Style). Everything is easy to understand and easy to cook. So I highly recommend this book, to anyone that wants to learn how to cook spanish style.
A Taste of Puerto Rico: Traditional and New Dishes from the Puerto Rican Community February 21, 2008

I love this cookbook. It is my bible of making traditional and new dishes from Puerto Rico. My mom didn't teach me to cook Puerto Rican food but I grew up eating it and smelling the beautiful aroma of sofito. I have other Puerto Rican cookbooks and they were so complicated to follow that I almost gave up on trying to learn. This book is easy to follow and you really learn the basic and traditions of cooking Puerto Rican tasty, sweet delicious food. This cookbook is a keeper.

Aida Meacham (USA)
This is a wonderful cookbook for those of us who knew how to eat all that Puerto Rican food that our mama's cooked for us, but we did not want to learn how to cook back them. This easy to read and prepare cook books has brought back so many memories and aroma's of my mom's cooking to my very own kitchen today..
