This authentic Puerto Rican recipe book is more than just a collection of dishes-it's a labor of love two years in the making. Born from countless visits with my 91-year-old parents, it captures the essence of their lifelong tradition of cooking "a ojo" - by eye, by feel, and with pure corazón. For years, I tried to translate their magic into measurements we could all follow, but true Puerto Rican cooking is more than cups and spoons-it's rhythm, memory, and love passed down through generations. That's why each recipe in this book is paired with a video, offering a closer look at how my parents move through the kitchen, blending flavors that define our culture and family. These pages are both a guide and a legacy - a way to preserve the taste of home, the laughter, the aromas, and the memories before they fade. It's my tribute to my parents' strength, spirit, and the island's rich culinary heritage, shared from our family's table to yours. I hope you enjoy it, cook with love, and share it with others - so our traditions and flavors continue to live on. Part 2 in the series, is already in the works, so stay connected through the QR code at the back of the book. ¡Gracias y buen provecho!
