About this Cook
I was formerly in the Air Force and settled into an electronic publishing job in NY
My favorite things to cook
Spanish and Italian
My favorite family cooking traditions
Pasteles. If you've got 7 hours then I can show you how to make these suckers. And Rellenos de papa. THose are just a treat.
My cooking triumphs
The first time I made a chicken in a white wine and cream sauce. I fed it to my brother, a picky eater. He wandered back to the kitchen with plate in hand just pointing, eating and making yummy sounds.
My cooking tragedies
Rice, too much water, holiday gathering. You try telling a room full of hungry Puerto Ricans that they'll have to wait while I make another batch of arroz con gandules.

Bubba's Jambalaya
Made this recipe minus the tomatoes and celery (my Cajun husband approved these changes). Used Tony Chachere's (there is no other...) seasoning and this came out delicious! Added a little paprika (at the hovering Cajun's insistence) to kick up the flavor and color. So worth the expense.

Amy's Cilantro Cream Sauce
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... This recipe is awesome. I use it on my southwestern egg rolls and then I use anything else in the vicinity to mop it up with.

Cuban Ropa Vieja
This is fine for a guideline, but my old and trusty cookbook that has this recipe in the original Spanish does it better. Nix the cilantro and vinegar and the slow cooker. Get yourself some dry white wine, alcaparrado (chopped olives, pimentos and capers)a bay leaf and a pressure cooker.
