5.0 out of 5 stars All you'll ever need to cook perfect Puerto Rican dishes, 4 April 1999

By A Customer

Carmen Aboy recopilates the best and most traditional recipes ever found in Puerto Rican kitchens. This book's been around for quite some time, with minor alterations in each yearly edition. Recipes are extremely simple and easy to follow, plus the ingredients are accesible in both, the latin and the US market. Besides, Carmen added a few tips for better cooking and for the table setting. This is a complete cookbook, with a great variety of dishes. I use it almost on a daily basis, and it has becomed a heirloom in my family. Your kitchen will improve to 5-star-restaurant levels!!!!!! Buen provecho!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional Puerto Rican Cookbook, 25 Jun 1998

By A Customer

I have seen several Puerto Rican cookbooks, and my hat comes off for you, Ms. Carmen. The book is so detailed and self-explanatory, I believe that nobody can go wrong when trying one of your recipes. My grandmother died 12 years ago and with her went all the knowledge of authentic Puerto Rican cookery. By purchasing your book, now I am able to cook the things that she used to cook for me. Thank you so much for such a fine book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tastes just like my moms' home cookin (but don't tell her)., 6 Dec 1997

By A Customer

To sum it up my husband no longer complains about my home cooked meals anymore. Its tough living up to the cooking standards of both a Puerto Rican mother and mother-in-law but now they both want to borrow my cook book. My apron off to Carmen Aboy Valldejul!
