2 out of 5 stars Not Too Traditional   October 6, 2003
17 out of 17 found this review helpful

I was expecting this book to have more traditional recipies such as mofongo, arroz con gandules & pasteles. Instead the recipies featured were more of the hotel touristy-type food that I know an average puertorican would not prepare in their home. I purchased this book in Old San Juan & the salesperson recommended another book, I should have taken her advice. I have since purchased the other book and that has exactly what I was looking for. Besides I heard a rumor the author was a vegetarian, how can you write a cookbook containig meat recipies and not eat them?

Although this very short almost pamphlet is not much of a cookbook, the few recipies look good and easy to prepare.
