Madeline SchwartzPuerto Rican Cuisine
February 28th 2009 18:58
The cuisines of Spain, Taíno and Arawaks Amerindians, and parts of the African continent all have had an impact on how food is prepared in Puerto Rico. Although Puerto Rican cooking is somewhat similar to both Spanish and Latin American cuisine, it is a unique tasty blend of influences, using indigenous seasonings and ingredients. Locals call their cuisine "Cocina Criolla."
"Cocina Criolla" can be traced back to the original Amerindian inhabitants of the island.
