Summary: A Must Have in Every Puerto Rican Kitchen!
Review: I have the 1972 edition of this book. My mother gave it to me as a wedding present when I got married in 1973. Not having cooked anything in my life (let alone Puerto Rican food) I found it extremely helpful. I was able to prepare my favorite dishes without having to call my mother in Puerto Rico! To this day I enjoy it greatly. It contains many helpful cooking hints and tips. It's easy to follow and very basic.

Summary: Cocine a Gusto
Review: I own a 1954 edition of this fantastic Puerto Rican cookbook. From the very basic to many extremely and complicated recipes are explained. My version of this book 'assumes' that the reader has a good grasp of the 'basic' ideas of Puerto Rican cooking, but it will help all cooks that have cooking imagination and have good 'cooking sense' expand their skills. So if you have been to Puerto Rico and loved the food, try YOUR hand at these tasty and fantastic cooking ventures, you'll be more than glad you did!

Summary: Excelente referencia de cocina puertorriqueña
Review: Un clásico del arte culinario puertorriqueño. Este libro contine una gran cantidad de recetas tradicionales, además de instrucciones para métodos, glosario términos culinarios, y conversión de medidas (por ejemplo, 1.24 tazas de yautia rayada hacen 1 libra). Algunas recetas parece omitir pasos que son obvios al cocinero de experiencia, pero puede confundir y arruinar la receta para personas menos experimentadas.
