Introducing True Flavors!
Puerto Rico True Flavors is the accumulation of Wilo Benet’s mastery of Puerto Rican cooking, his expertise in preparation, creativity, and finely-honed skills. Merging the tastes he grew up with, from his mother’s “from-scratch†cooking, his grandmother’s well-loved recipes, lunchtimes at public school, street vendors’ fritters and roasted chickens, and all the other everyday-food influences of Puerto Rico, together with his exceptional culinary talents, he brings those historic true flavors of the Island into the 21st century.
You’ll learn how to make authentic Basics (adobo, escabache, mojito); Fritters (alcapurrias/stuffed yautÃa, bacalaÃtos/salt cod fritters); Soups such as sancocho/root vegetable & beef; Meats like carne mechada/stuffed pot roast; Fish (camarones al ajillo/shrimp in garlic sauce); Plantains (amarillos/sweet plantains, arañitas/plantain spiders); and Desserts (flan/custard pudding, dulce de lechosa/candied papaya), to name just a few of each.
¡Buen Provecho!

“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.â€

“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 (bacalaÃtos) 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.”

“Wilo Benet blew me away at first meeting: he is an exciting innovator in Puerto Rican cuisine. True Flavors is more than a terrific collection of recipes: it is a guide into the very heart of Puerto Rico’s amazing cuisine. True Flavors is a classic.â€
