A delicious tribute to Puerto Rican cuisine and culture, with more than sixty-five soulful recipes.

Growing up, Monti Carlo felt like she was perpetually bridging the gap between worlds--one foot on her home island of Puerto Rico, and the other in the heart of Houston, Texas. In the space between, as a self-taught chef and eventual TV host and James Beard Foundation advisor, she's carved out a cuisine all her own, one that's a testament to a life spent bridging two cultures. It's a mosaic of borrowed words and flavors, a reflection of the bittersweet beauty of connecting two very different ways of life. It's pure Spanglish.

Within these pages, Monti shares the dishes embodying that journey: continental American classics created with the bold flavors of Puerto Rico, a taste of two worlds merging on the same plate. There's comfort food like her elementary school's soupy chili with her Abuela Dora's sweet and savory picadillo, golden bacalaíto-battered onion rings, and tangy tamarind roast chicken. There are nostalgia-laced Puerto Rican breakfasts like hearty sorullo waffles with pique honey and pastries like cinnamon rolls constructed with pillowy mallorca dough. There are not-so-traditional sides like floral hibiscus baked beans and crispy coconut rice. And there's delectable, subtly sweet desserts like morir soñando no-bake cheesecake and passion fruit-curd stuffed mini cakes. There's also a glossary of traditional Puerto Rican ingredients and where to source them, as well as recipes for traditional Puerto Rican bases like sofrito, sazón, and recaito.

With flavor and heart, this cookbook is more than just recipes. It's a beautifully written reflection on Boricua identity and a testament to the healing power of food.

Saved my daughter’s skin
My 21 yr old has gone from clear skin to now having cystic acne and whilst trying to get to the source of it, her skin has been painfully inflamed and constant dark red breakouts. We have tried other professional skincare’s, “no downtime” peels designed for acne, which made it worse etc. This product Finally was what gave her skin some relief, calmed the pain and inflammation, nearly stopped the breakouts and is allowing her skin to heal up. She said it felt so much better immediately after starting using it. And is so grateful for the redness and pain relief.

A Touchdown Toy for My Pups!
Color: Michigan Wolverines, Style: NCAA #1 Fan Toy
This has been a huge hit in our house! As a die-hard Michigan fan, I was thrilled to find a toy that combines my love for the Wolverines with my puppies playtime. The toy is well-made, durable, and the perfect size for fetch and tug-of-war games between my two pups. Not only is it tough enough to withstand some rough play, but it also holds up well after multiple washes. If you're a Michigan fan and want to spoil your furry friend with a toy that's both functional and fan worthy, this is the perfect choice. Go Blue and go fetch!
