Cute book, just sad it does not recognize some of our food from older generations that were more influenced by the 500+ years of Spanish (from Spain) ruling the islands. I would still buy it again and share with family and friends of newer generations :)

This book is so cute, informational, and wholesome. I loved learning more about my family’s culture, getting new ideas for dishes, and getting familiar with what certain foods are. I read through in one sitting! Highly highly recommend.
