Rating:  Summary: Puerto Rican Cookery Review: This book is excellent! Specially if you need to find out the translations to English of ingredients used in the traditional puertorrican kitchen. If you live in the States, use the English version, if you live in Puerto Rico get the Spanish version, Cocina Criolla. I recommend both. Nothing else that have been published in the subject compares to this pair.
Rating:  Summary: The Classic on Puerto Rican Food!!! Review: This is the book you will need to cook true Puerto Rican!!! Everyone either has this or the Spanish version, "Cocina Criolla." However, that said, you may want to update the amount of salt and fat. I for one don't eat pork... which is a staple in the Puerto Rican diet, however noone has ever complained about my use of olive oil.There are so many great recipes... arroz con gandules, arroz con pollo, tembleque, mojo isleño, tostones... it's all here!

Rating:  Summary: ?Que esto? Review: When I read the other reviews I thought this was the book I was looking for, when it arrived I was so excited. Then I started looking for the dishes that I wanted to make and I didn't find them. So, I tried to make what was in the book. Can I tell you that I've never heard of sour orange juice??? One receipe said to carmelize sugar in a pan...should that be on the stove or in the oven (Carmelizing is hard as hell if you don't know what you are doing). No details about consistency, or substitutes that could be used or other info that would have been very helpful. They need to revise this joint. Tank ju berry mush.
