Not Too Traditional,
By "kiki_bear1" (San Juan, PR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Taste of Puerto Rico Cookbook (Paperback)
I was expecting this book to have more traditional recipies such as mofongo, arroz con gandules & pasteles. Instead the recipies featured were more of the hotel touristy-type food that I know an average puertorican would not prepare in their home. I purchased this book in Old San Juan & the salesperson recommended another book, I should have taken her advice. I have since purchased the other book and that has exactly what I was looking for. Besides I heard a rumor the author was a vegetarian, how can you write a cookbook containig meat recipies and not eat them?

Please help! My review isn't complete yet; I have an important question,
This review is from: A Taste of Puerto Rico Cookbook (Paperback)
The first recipe I am trying from the book is called Pineapple-Rum Chicken Pie. However, it doesn't have rum. Is that a mistake or why does the title include the word rum? Please help! I googled the title and couldn't find any other place where I could get this information...I bought the book in the gift shop at El Morro in San Juan.
