Wilo Benet:
Puerto Rico True Flavors.
By JULIETTE ROSSANT
Puerto Rico True Flavors, by Wilo Benet Super Chef is a big fan of Wilo Benet, the gifted chef cooking inspired food at Pikayo (see previous article "Wilo Benet: Pikayo Perfecto") and traditional Puerto Rican specialties at Paya in his native Puerto Rico. Wilo is well known for combining local ingredients and preparations with French technique.
His new book, Puerto Rico True Flavors (Read Street 2007) is an investigation of the home cooking of the island. Much as cuisine de grand mere contains the inspiration of great French dishes, the cooking of Puerto Rico is not just simple but simply worth learning about. Clean flavors and many strands of influence from the island's previous conquerors yield good, hearty food and inspiration for more complex dishes. Wilo is an excellent teacher and his recipes are clear and easy to follow. Read more at Super Chef Blog |
