Product Description
Encompassing the history, the heritage, and the future of Puerto Rican cuisine, Ortiz traces the influence of native Taino culture, Spanish conquerors, African slaves, and American merchants. Dispelling the myth that Puerto Rican cooking begins and ends with rice and beans, she presents over 200 recipes that reflect the culinary diversity of the island itself.

 cookie disaster September 27, 2008
foximonique (usa)
I tried the recipe for the Coconut Guava Cookie. This recipe was a disaster. The ingredients were butter, coconut, sugar and vanilla. The cookies are to cook at 350. However, there is nothing to hold the cookie together and butter does exactly what butter does... it melts and there was a huge mess. This recipe should include flour. The ingredients make a great icing but they do not make a cookie.

Everything is easy to understand and easy to cook. So I highly recommend this book, to anyone that wants to learn how to cook spanish style.
A Taste of Puerto Rico: Traditional and New Dishes from the Puerto Rican Community February 21, 2008

I love this cookbook. It is my bible of making traditional and new dishes from Puerto Rico. My mom didn't teach me to cook Puerto Rican food but I grew up eating it and smelling the beautiful aroma of sofito. I have other Puerto Rican cookbooks and they were so complicated to follow that I almost gave up on trying to learn. This book is easy to follow and you really learn the basic and traditions of cooking Puerto Rican tasty, sweet delicious food. This cookbook is a keeper.

This is a wonderful cookbook for those of us who knew how to eat all that Puerto Rican food that our mama's cooked for us, but we did not want to learn how to cook back them. This easy to read and prepare cook books has brought back so many memories and aroma's of my mom's cooking to my very own kitchen today..
