My bf is Puerto Rican but moved away to California where I met him. He doesn’t get to see his family very often because they’re all still back on the island. So I reached out to his mom and got some tips so I could surprise him.

Chuletas con amarillos, arroz blanco y habichuelas.

Homage to Puerto Rico! Flan over a caramel crème patissierie in a mallorca!

When I was in PR, I had this amazing churrasco pastellilo. It was slow roasted pulled beef with white strips of cheese (not a cheese sauce). I would love to find the recipe again, but the churrasco pastellilos i see are all with ground beef. Any ideas as to what this is called?

Help I’m clueless LOL Thankyou!

PR es otra cosa 🔥🔥

Just had Pasteles for the first time. They were absolutely delicious. PR food never disappoints. Thank god we finally got a decent restaurant here that serves good homemade Latin food. I was dying out here!

Went to PR at the beginning of the month and this was my favorite breakfast. The fruit was so fresh and delicious and the banana coconut pancakes were amazing!

Is anyone open to sharing some recipes? I'm unfortunately a no sabo who hates cooking, however as I sit here and eat the heavenly leftovers from yet another reunion, I find myself desperately wanting to eat food that tastes like I'm spending time with my family. I miss them, I miss our food.

I want to try cooking, only no one has recipes that they're willing to share. Does anyone have an idea of what I can try? 🙏🏼

This is for a company potluck, so I'd have to bring it early in the morning for it to be served around 11 am. I joked about bringing Pernil but then everyone lost their minds and now they're betting/counting on me to bring it. It's now become the talk of the office, so now it's too late to turn back. I acknowledge that I absolutely sunk myself on this one.

I could roast it low and slow overnight and just bring it in the morning, but is there any way to keep the skin crunchy for a while afterwards? Or should I face my inevitable defeat and shame and rescind my offer to bring something else instead?

Que rica es la maltita.

Are there any local spots or must have foods in the Carolina/Bayamon/San Juan/Viejo San Juan area?

The last few times I have made empanadas the
Dough has a toxic, chemical aftertaste. I feel like I’m feeding my family poison! Im sick of these big
Companies putting all these preservatives in our food! I already wrote the company and provided my feedback but I doubt they care.

Any tips for best discos dough or a homemade Recipe )even tho I don’t want to add
more steps to my recipe). Gracias!

I already have heat resistant gloves, a coal rake, a chimney, and a large folding table. Might need to get one of those little machetes they use to carve it up lol. But I do have some good sharp chef's knives. Do you need an injector or is a rub fine and just make some incisions to get the rub in the meat like a pernil in the oven?

Where can i get customized cakes in Puerto Rico?
