Book Reviews of Puerto Rican Cookery
Book Review: Puerto Rican Cookery
Summary: 5 Stars
As a home cook, this book gives me the long lost dishes that my family use to cook for me as a kid. Bravo !! Easy to read and follow, all recipes are authentic to my knowledge of Puerto Rican cooking.Book Review: Deep-fried
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is an interesting collection of Puerto Rican recipes. Local traditions are present in the numerous recipes for plantains, coconuts, guava, and rum. However, a health-food cookbook, this is not. A great number of the recipes call for deep-frying. Processed foods such as canned vegetables, instant potatoes, and Valveeta are also prominent. One could enjoy a few dishes from this book every once in a while as a treat, but this is not a book to live out of.Book Review: ?Que esto?
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Book Review: Through the Generations
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this excellent cookbook as a wedding gift almost a quarter of a century ago. It became one of the most treasured items of my home. Today, I am ordering a new copy for my son who is now "on his own" and wants to cook just like me. :-)Book Review: A great gift for your friends!

My mother has the original book from this author Cocina Criolla, and about two years ago my brother brought this book for me as a gift from Puerto Rico and I loved the fact that it was in English. Easy to read, and be ready to cook or make cocktails! This is a great gift for your non-hispanic friends who love that Puertorican cookin.
