Their \u003cem\u003ecocina criolla\u003c\/em\u003e, or traditional native cookery, can be traced back to the original indigenous inhabitants for over 500 years, from delectable \u003cem\u003ebarbacoa \u003c\/em\u003eand the staple plantain, to the zesty seasonings of citrus, cilantro, and oregano, as well as two magical words which are the secret to many unique and characteristic dishes with a Caribbean flavor: \u003cem\u003eadobo \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003esofrito\u003c\/em\u003e. With new outside influences of the Spanish, British, Dutch, and Africans who arrived in the islands, the delicate blends and innovations of five centuries have developed a genuine Caribbean cuisine. Stuffed with hundreds of recipes ranging from every day favorites to fancy feasts for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert and cocktails, this cookbook is as essential to beginner cooks as it is to seasoned chefs alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0882894110\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780882894119\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Empresas Cucuye Inc, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Pelican Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pelican Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"HardCover (Mar 1983)","offer_id":45657905496261,"sku":"9780882894119","price":25.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780882894119.jpg?v=1768895739","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/puerto-rican-cookery","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
