Fondeando: eating Local in Puerto Rico, is an extremely well written book with beautiful photography by by Tere Davila and Paola Nogueras.
The book explores some of Puerto Rico’s best known restaurants along with hidden gems that you would miss without some local insider knowledge.
Focusing on typical Puerto Rican Fondas, Restaurante Tipicos and Chinchorros (dives / whole in the wall spots), the author visits his favorite spots around the various regions of Puerto Rico and shares his thoughts and favorite dishes from each one.
I knew this was going to be a great book when the paragraph of the introduction includes ‘Our fascination for fritters may even be genetic and pork on the spit elicits more enthusiasm than a good baseball game..â€
Along with detailed mouth watering descriptions of the 40 or so restaurants you will find even more mouth watering photos of the typical dishes served at the various eateries, as well as great photos of some of the restaurants and scenery around Puerto Rico.
Fondeando: eating Local in Puerto Rico is a 200+ page bilingual hardback book that is priced around $45. This might sound expensive, but I think it is really worth the price if you are heading to Puerto Rico and want to explore ‘off the beaten path’ places to eat and enjoy traditional Puerto Rican dishes, that locals have been enjoying for decades….
