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?

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.

it just wasnt anything like i expected and took forever to get. not satisfied at all i cannot use recipes for the family i am envolved with from puerto rico

Why is this cookbook so expensive? I have tried to research the author and the price, but I can't figure out why someone would pay so much for one cookbook. Am I missing something?

Although this very short almost pamphlet is not much of a cookbook, the few recipies look good and easy to prepare.
