Summary: Cocina Criolla, still the best 2010-02-07
Comment: I just bought 3 of the Cocina Criolla books, it is so great to know that we can still find the same great cooking book that I got when I got 25 years ago. The recipes are still excellent and now our daughters, a new generation, continues the tradition.

Summary: Chef Galarza 2010-02-04
Comment: I am currently going to school to become a private chef. I have over 20 years cooking experience, and I wanted to go pro. My roots are of Puertorrican tradition (boricua). All of these recipes are down to the basics just like AUGUSTE ESCOFFIER Complete Guide To The Art of Modern Cookery. You really must understand traditional Puertorrican cooking to appreciate this book. Ask any puertorrican chef and yes they have it.

Summary: Mom's favorite cookbook ... 2009-02-23
Comment: I may be repeating what others have said ... but I became familiar with this book when I was growing up. I remember making Tembleque using this book as a kid, and it came out wonderful.
My mom used this book as her main cookbook -- and when she gave it away instead of giving it to my sister and I we got really angry (because we wanted the book)! I'm planning to replace it as soon as I get a chance.
The cookbook definitely has traditional puerto rican cooking. The recipes are great.
