“Wilo Benet is one of the great Chefs of Puerto Rico and in this book he brings the world of traditional Puerto Rican flavors and dishes into your home. What I have always loved about Puerto Rico is the everyday food, cooked by street vendors and in homes. In Wilo’s new comprehensive collection of such recipes you will be able to experiment with and experience all the true flavors of Puerto Rico.”

“Wilo Benet’s beautifully illustrated cookbook is a gift for anyone who loves the bold, satisfying flavors of authentic Puerto Rican cooking. Here is the full panoply of island classics – from delightful salt cod fritters (bacalaítos) to luscious tropical desserts like the quivering coconut pudding tembleque, explained step by step with clarity and panache by an indisputable master of his craft.”
