Puerto Rican Cookbook Suggestions
I will be doing a house swap in the Southwest portion of Puerto Rico next month. The kitchen has a five-burner gas stove and the house will be filled with people who love to cook.
Web searches indicate that there is a daily market one town over and the descriptions include '9 kinds of bananas, 13 mango varieties, fish, etc.' Needless to say, I would love to cook with new and local ingredients during our stay.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a Puerto Rican cookbook that hasn't been adapted for mainland ingredients? And is in English?

Aha! Look what I found.... originally in Spanish and then translated into English. I think this book plus Daisy Cooks will do nicely for this trip.

re: Cheese Boy
This was one book that I had identified as well. Just wasn't sure if she had modified her recipes for mainland foods. I always loved her shows on CREATE.
I wish I spoke enough Spanish so I could ask the vendors for their favorite ways of cooking foods that we buy from them, but sadly, I don't.
