Book Review: Authentic
Summary: 5 Stars
It's true that our Abuelas didn't write anything down, rather they cooked from taste and sight. In Latin cultures, food is a large part of the culture because we use this as a time to interact with family and with friends.
This book makes it easy to recreate some of those things for which Abuela didn't share the recipe. Mr. Rivera's recipes are flavorful and are truly the REAL THING!
Book Review: This book is great for anyone with hispanic friends, family

My husband is Puerto Rican, and I love being able to make the stuff his mother and grandmother always made for him. Even his Grandmother loves when I make the stuff from this book!! I love it!Book Review: Just like Abuelita.
Summary: 5 Stars
Finaly I know the secret behind making 'pasteles' and 'sancocho'. Looking through the recipes I was so touched I felt like crying. Perhaps it's silly but food is a huge part of the Puerto Rican culture and there are many foods that take years to learn and perfect, (especially since Abuela didn't believe in measuring anything). A pinch of this, a dash of that. Now I have a strong foundation to build on. It's so wonderful to be able to bring our tradition into my home. This is the most authentic account of Puerto Rican and Nuyorican cooking I have ever read. It's given me a peek at my Grandma's magic in the kitchen and reminds me of home. I strongly recommed this book, no matter what culture you are from. Read, cook, and enjoy!
