This review is from: Puerto Rico Sabor Criollo (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
I am 100% Puerto Rican and have been living and eating around the Island for 30 years. I know how Puerto Rican dishes should taste and look like. Wilo's book is a reliable source on Puerto Rican cusine.
This is not a book; it is a piece of art. It contains pictures of the dishes and dessert. Also, the book has an appendix with step-by-step instructions (with pictures) of how to prepare recipes like alcapurrias and pasteles. He proposes new methods that keep the escence of the recipes, but make them easier to prepare. I have contacted Wilo with comments and questions, and he always answers my emails. The book has a website with videos of some of the recipes: http://wilobenet.com/trueflavors/ A+ for Wilo Benet. ¡Buen provecho!

Best Book Investment!,
By Aileen "the_blackpearl_75" (TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Puerto Rico Sabor Criollo (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
I've bought a few books just looking for the real Puertorican cooking & this is it. I am very happy to finally have found a book that would make me proud to say; this is my cooking. I have bought both in Spanish & English. Why? Well, it'll help me with the language. I am from Puerto Rico & I was looking for recipes that I've heard from my childhood. I can say that this is just the beginning because there is more that meets the eye in Puertorican food. For the money it's been my best investment, no regrets at all. I can't wait for Wilo Benet to make the second edition because I will be one of the hundreds waiting in line to buy it. I really recommend this book to all boricuas out there & to all of those that likes hispanic food.
