Introducing True Flavors!
Puerto Rico True Flavors is the accumulation of Wilo Benet’s mastery of Puerto Rican cooking, his expertise in preparation, creativity, and finely-honed skills. Merging the tastes he grew up with, from his mother’s “from-scratch†cooking, his grandmother’s well-loved recipes, lunchtimes at public school, street vendors’ fritters and roasted chickens, and all the other everyday-food influences of Puerto Rico, together with his exceptional culinary talents, he brings those historic true flavors of the Island into the 21st century.
You’ll learn how to make authentic Basics (adobo, escabache, mojito); Fritters (alcapurrias/stuffed yautÃa, bacalaÃtos/salt cod fritters); Soups such as sancocho/root vegetable & beef; Meats like carne mechada/stuffed pot roast; Fish (camarones al ajillo/shrimp in garlic sauce); Plantains (amarillos/sweet plantains, arañitas/plantain spiders); and Desserts (flan/custard pudding, dulce de lechosa/candied papaya), to name just a few of each.
¡Buen Provecho!
