Available for the first time in English, Cruz Miguel Ortíz Cuadra’s magisterial history of the foods and eating habits of Puerto Rico unfolds into an examination of Puerto Rican society from the Spanish conquest to the present.

Whether judging by a host of social and economic factors — or by the foods once eaten that have now disappeared — Ortíz concludes that the nature of daily life in Puerto Rico has experienced a sea change.
