Customer Reviews

Feed a family

There are so many cookbooks, so to be sure, I checked this one out from the library before buying it. I loved every recipe, but then this is a favorite cuisine for me. You need to like beans and rice, and simple Mexican/Puerto Rican/Latin flavors to really enjoy the book. Her recipes are so easy and great tasting. She gets home at 5:30 and then feeds a family with 6 boys, so nothing is too fancy for me to do at home. I love the latin flavors that she uses, yet the ingredients are available at regular grocery stores (though much easier to find at Mexican markets).

Arroz con Pollo - excellent!

I made Arroz con Pollo (Chicken & Rice) for my family. It was fast, fun and delicious but most importantly, it satisfied my 3 boys' limitless appetites with healthy food. The cookbook was easy to follow and I look forward to heating up my kitchen with other Latin recipes. I am very glad to have Elsie's recipe book!

Latina Rachel Ray

The recipes are tried and true and if you are looking for some easy latin flavor to add to your repitoire in the kitchen this is one of those books that will help. The stories behind each dish not only add an element of entertainment and personality to the dishes and Elsie herself, but a true account of how much love and history is behind her recipes. Enjoy!

Great for Anyone Who Loves Easy & Delicious Meals

I am not a working mom, but I love this book. It is great for anyone who is on the go but loves to prepare simple but delicious meals at home. The Latin dishes explode with flavor!
