Overview

Puerto Rican cuisine, with its strong Spanish and African influences, holds a unique position in the world of Caribbean cooking. The food is spicy, hearty, healthy, sensuous, and adventurous. The 240-plus recipes included here range from traditional island dishes and drinks to the latest Nuyorican creations. Fully illustrated, this edition features a new preface by the author.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Rivera, a novelist and a Nuyorican (the term refers to a Puerto Rican raised or born in New York City), has compiled a wide-ranging collection of homestyle Puerto Rican recipes, both traditional dishes and those adapted or inspired by mainland cuisine. Many of them come from Rivera's extended family, and his readable headnotes and introductions include lots of family anecdotes as well as background on Puerto Rican culture and cuisines. Thoughtful wine suggestions accompany most dishes. Recipes from Puerto Rico appear in general Caribbean cookbooks, but there are few titles on its cuisine alone. Recommended.

    Puerto Rican Traditional Cooking at its best, excellent book

    I have thought many times of how I can pass down my traditional Puerto Rican recipes to my children but never had the time to sit and start writing them down. I have finally found the collection of treasured recipes that are easy to understand and its a no fail process. The recipes are prepared exactly the way I cook them myself, my mother and grandmother have for many years. Recipes are easy to understand and fix the results can be as fancy as you want to make them, overall you will have excellent results. The special comments come from the heart and are true every day life event, they were enjoyable since I have also experience them in the 60's. My plan is to order several copies as christmas gifts, as we need to keep out tradition alive. The recipes are easy to follow and you will have sucess all the time.

    Absolutely Unique

    I have had this book in my possession from the local library 'on loan' for 7 years. I promise to return it now that its been reprinted. This book has all the tips and excellent recipes you remember from your childhood, the stories and even the correct wine to serve with each dish. Mr. Rivera has done an excellent job of putting together a book you cannot part with if you love this cuisine. Even if you don't know the glorious flavor of 'la Isla' this is a book worth taking a look at if you love to cook and ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE TO EAT! Thanks Oswald!

    It was unbelievable to find a book that the recipe is true to the family tradition, I have bought three of these books in the past for friends and family who always ask for my recipes. Other books leave you wondering sometimes "what the hell is that, where do I buy that". This book is no nonsense common ingredients just like abuela taught me. Anyone looking for a good Puerto Rican cookbook would be a fool not to buy this one...
