"The foremost authority on Puerto Rican cooking is a silver haired, stylish, and warmly hospitable woman named Carmen Aboy Valldejuli. Her books are considered today to be the definitive books on island cooking."
-New York Times
Puerto Rican Cookery has become the standard reference on traditional native cookery (cocina criolla). According to the San Juan Star, "the cookbook is seen and is more likely better read in some homes than the religious take. It is considered a primer for beginning cooks... a textbook for home economists and it is a guide for the gourmet as well."
