Welcome to my kitchen, familia. Whether you’re making your first Puerto Rican holiday dinner or finally taking charge of the family pernil, I’m here to help you serve tender, juicy, boldly seasoned pork with the crispy skin everyone craves.

We’ll work through the prep, build the flavor, and make roasting day feel less intimidating. Then we’ll bring the whole plate together with my recipes for arroz con gandules, creamy ensalada de papa, tangy guineos en escabeche, and colorful ensalada de coditos. Because a fabulous pernil deserves fabulous company!

PLUS, full step-by-step videos are linked to each recipe!
