Puerto Rican Cookery

I love this book I've handed it down to multiple generations.

Great Puerto Rican recipes and my daughter love it

I love this book! Especially thatbit has a glossary that describes the ingredientes that's used for cooking Puerto Rican food in Spanish to English!

LOVE this cookbook. my husband is Puerto Rican and I never had the chance to spend time with his Abuela to learn how to cook family recipes, I started using this book and he said it takes him back to days when he lives with Abuela in Puerto Rico and she would spend the whole day cooking. the recipes are really easy to follow and are delicious. this is AUTHENTIC Puerto Rican food.

I used to have the Spanish version of this book but made the biggest mistake or loaning it out and never getting it back again, so I bought the English version and I have to say that it was translated very well, better than what I had expected.Before I go further, I am a professional chef in NYC and I have worked at many very well known fine dining restaurants, I have 21 years experience so I will be speaking from a professional aspect.I received a phone call from a very well known chef who is a TV personality, he told me that he has a friend who lives near me who needs a chef to help out. I went to see the place and it was a Puerto Rican restaurant, the chef who was there really didn't have a grasp on the ingredients when it comes to Puerto Rican cooking. So by me going into that kitchen to help for the two weeks that I committed myself, it motivated me to really dig deep into the flavor and ingredients that really goes into Puerto Rican cooking, not the NYC or American version of it which is watered down. This book became one of the culinary Bible's for me at that time, and it help me make what was an okay menu to a menu that became talked about and raising the bar for that particular restaurant.After that experience, it really made me pick up my game and perfect my cooking when it comes to Puerto Rican cooking, when Maria hit the island, I was one of the first chefs up there cooking for people, I coordinated a trip and menu with very well known Puerto Rican chefs and this was the book i went to for inspiration at a time where people needed an amazing meal.This book is simple and yet so amazing, the instructions are easy to follow and believe me, you will learn a lot from this book. My non professional recommendation would say that this is an amazing starter book for those who want to learn, but it is the one book that I assure you that you will end up keeping for the rest of your life.Now, if you're a Spanish speaker, or know how to read in Spanish I highly recommend getting the Spanish version of this book which is the original version. Whomever translated this book has no idea of what they were doing and really hurt the English version of this book completely, it was as if they used Google translate instead of getting a well educated professional.

Purchased it for my son who loves Puerto Rican food, and he was extremely excited!

Tried and true Puerto Rican cooking! A must for every kitchen . . .

Book is full of typical Puerto Rico recipes.

cover definitely showed use - but was easily fixed with scotch tape - book itself was in almost new condition - even though it was advertised as 'acceptable' - pleasant surprise - recipes are rare and priceless
