 Puerto Rican Cookery Book Collectors Edition Signed by the Author January 31, 2010
Debbie Berk (Las Vegas, NV.)
Although this book was listed in good condition, I feel the condition is poorer than advertised. it took 3 weeks to recieve, which tells me someone is lazy, The cover was ripped in several areas, it was also yellowed. Some pages are torn and feel I have to be delicate when using it. Overall, i would buy a new book next time. The advertiser was less than honest when advertising and I paid more because it was signed by the Author. I should just call my Puerto Rican Relatives for recipes as I would have recieved better results.if you are seeking a book of your favorite "Family recipes" then don't but this book.Call a relative and do the best you can with a dash and or a pinch.
 A Classic! January 3, 2010

I came to the states as a teen from Puerto Rico and I was never really interested in learning how to cook authentic Puertorican food until a couple of years ago. I tried asking my mom how to do certain dishes but that didn't work out well; I couldn't replicate her pinches of seasoning or the intuitive way she handled the cooking. I needed the basic recipes I grew up eating but also a reliable reference I could go back to and I am pleased to say this cookbook met that expectation. So far this is the only Puertorican cuisine cookbook I have and I don't think I need to own another. I was impressed by the sofrito recipe (one that actually calls for culantro) and that it has most of the traditional desserts, such as besitos de coco, budin de pan, etc. One important suggestion I have is to be careful with the amounts of salt called for in some recipes - if you suspect it may be too much salt then you are probably right!
Very interesting November 7, 2009

I really loved this cookbook. It has everything from the very basic dishes to the more advanced dishes! I am not Puerto Rican but I think I may be able to cook like one with this cookbook.
another great cookbook! October 26, 2009

If you want your food to taste like it should, this is the book! October 24, 2009

If you want to cook Puerto Rican food and have it come out the way it's supposed to taste, this is the book. There is no other book like it. My mother is Venezuelan, but she learned how to cook Puerto Rican with the Spanish version of the book. I can do it too, and now my husband, who is Dutch, can cook as well as mi abuela from Arecibo. When we go to a party we often take a roast pork. Those who know think I made it since I'm Puerto Rican, but I tell them, no it's all my husband. The instructions are clear and if you follow them the food tastes awesome.
Next Thanksgiving make "pavochon" pavo (turkey) with taste of lechon (roast pork). Just go ahead, season the turkey like you would the pork, per Aboy Valldejuli's instructions, and it will come out fantastic. Use the ground beef filling and you'll have a new family classic!
Many recipes can be modified and made a little bit less fattening by cutting down on the amount of butter or oil. The desserts are awesome, many types of flans, pound cakes, merengues, in summary it's the book to follow if you want to cook authentic Puerto Rican food. In addition she has recipes for many Spanish recipes. I'm going to stop here, because I'm salivating already!
