"The foremost authority on Puerto Rican cooking is a silver haired, stylish, and warmly hospitable woman named Carmen Aboy Valldejuli . . . [her books] are considered today to be the definitive books on island cooking." -New York Times Written entirely in Spanish, Cocina Criolla, the standard reference work on traditional Puerto Rican cooking, is in its 68th priniting and has special appeal to those who enjoy the island's cuisine. In addition to offering hundreds of delicious recipes, Cocina Criolla includes advice for the inexperienced cook that ranges from suggestions about the most efficient way to read a recipe to suggestions about what kitchen equipment every cook should have. Cocina Criolla no puede compararse con la generalidad de los libros de cocina. En muchos puntos difiere grandemente de éstos. Pero por su encaje perfecto en la necesidad actual de literatura culinaria práctica y útil y por la forma detallada y característica de sus rectas es, de por sí, único en su clase. Cocina Criolla solucionará muchas problemas domésticos y por lo tanto, está llamad a ser un libro indespensable en el hogar. The English edition of this book, Puerto Rican Cookery, is in its 36th printing with more than 167,000 copies in print and is also available from Pelican.

About the Author
Carmen Aboy Valldejuli expressed her hopes that, eventually, all readers may wend their way to Puerto Rico to sample these delicacies in the land of their origin. But, she was certain that the recipes in Puerto Rican Cookery would bring the flavor of the islands to your own table. Pelican also publishes the Spanish version of this book, Cocina Criolla, as well as the Spanish cookbook classic Juntos en la Cocina, written by Valldejuli and her husband, Luis F. Valldejuli. Valldejuli passed away in 2005.

Mi madre tiene una copia de este libro con el autografo de la autora (primera edición). Con él fue que aprendí a cocinar. Cuando me case, fue el primer libro que compré para mi nuevo hogar. El libro ofrece las recetas basicas tradicionales, que uno con el tiempo aprende a modificar a su gusto. El libro es un clasico de la cultura puertorriqueña, debe estar en toda biblioteca boricua.

My mother bought this book her first week of marriage. I learned to cook from this cookbook during my childhood in Puerto Rico. When I went to college my mother bought me this book as a graduation present.
It is an invaluable guide to Puertorican cooking. All the basics are in it and more. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Puertorican food!
