Christmas

Christmas in my house tastes like Puerto Rico and the Deep South and smells like the neighborhood bakery. These are the recipes I've made for decades, written so you can plan ahead and enjoy the holiday instead of living in the kitchen.

No Christmas is complete without Authentic Coquito, a pot of Pasteles next to a pot of Collard Greens, and a slow-roasted Pernil. Fill your cookie tins with almond Mantecaditos and Coquito Cookies.

Keep the celebration going with my Día de los Reyes recipes.
