 Puerto Rican Cuisine October 19, 2009
Willys N. Rosario (Monroe, NC)
This book is amazing, it details foods from two different revenues. Puerto Ricans from Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans from New York, it gave me even more reasons to enjoy cooking Spanish foods. My sister came over to visit and decided she wanted a copy, so she took mine. This is my second purchase of this book. It seems to capture the eye's of people who already cook Spanish foods and those wanting to learn how to cook good old country Puerto Rican foods. The details and ease of ingredients make it a joy to follow along.
great book for traditional cuisine May 28, 2009

great book to fully understand and learn what magic grandma has used all these years to make these great meals. Book does a very good job at explaining exactly how to make the cuisines. Great book

I am African American and I purchased this wonderful cookbook several years ago. The cover on my book was different than what's shown here, but all I can say is WOW!!! What a pleasure, there were always certain Puerto Rican recipes that I loved and whenever I would ask how to make it I would get "I don't know, I just make it, I don't use a recipe." I always loved the flavor in the beans and never knew how to accomplish the taste, now I know it's sofrito, I now make my own. The description on how to make pasteles is a big positive too. I have a Greek friend and she makes pasteles around the holidays and gives them as gifts. One Puerto Rican guy couldn't believe that a Greek girl made the pasteles. But thanks to Oswald Rivera's fine cookbook it's possible. I especially enjoy his humor and the stories, I feel he's right there in the kitchen with me. I feel contrary to what the other reviewer said about pictures I didn't miss them at all I just wanted these basic recipes for my friends and family to enjoy. BRAVO! Mr. Rivera, you've put a smile on my face.

I love this cookbook! It has so many recipes in it. I've tried a number of them and I loved them all. this book is so great. My mom never really taught me how to cook or my grandmom, and what they did show me, I never remembered, I have to use recipes and with this book at my side, I can make everything. My rice is fabulous. My kids love my cooking and they tell me all the time that I should be a chef! :) thanks Mr. Rivera.

I purchased this book and the recipes sound great but there was no illustration to show you what the dish should look like (very dissappointing). I also found that a lot of the ingredients could only be purchased at "Bodegas" or spanish neighborhoods.
