This review is from: The Spirit of Puerto Rican Rum (Hardcover)

Along with Cuba and Jamaica, Puerto Rico is one of the most famous rum destinations in the world. Traditional Puerto Rican rums have delighted the palates of millions throughout the years.

This book illustrates what happens when society and culture are exposed to a constant stimuli over a long period of time: rum is now as big in the Puerto Rican kitchen as it is in the cocktail bars. Author Blanche Gelabert takes the reader by the hand as the explores the local cuisine. By the end of the journey, you are left both thirsty and hungry. This is a softcover book, full with gorgeous photographs. A favorite recipe from this book is "Coco Escondido."
