Summary: Yum Yum 2008-10-21
Comment: There are some great Puerto Rican dishes but the art of cooking them is being lost. This book helps to preserve it. The selection of recipes is excellent if not sometimes written in broken English.

Summary: A little piece of my abuela... 2007-07-26
Comment: When my abuela passed in December 2006 we were immediately overwhelmed with distributing her things. I came across an old copy of Cocina Criolla, but gave it to her sister-in-law because, unfortunately my mother nor I were taught Spanish. Coming across the English version has been wonderful. Abuela and I were planning to cook together this year, which I plan to do solo. It brings back fond memories of her and her food. I am happy to carry on that tradition.

Summary: Great wedding gift!! 2007-07-21
Comment: I knew that I was finally in my future mother-in-law's good graces when she gave me a copy of this book as a present shortly before my wedding to her son. I had been struggling along with her spanish version of the book, and she knew I was trying to cook in a way that she approved of, so when I got this book I knew that I had finally won the heart of a puerto rican matriarch, and we know how hard that can sometimes be! I have since gone on to master many of the recipes, and my husband says that my cooking rivals that of his mother and grandmother!
