ANTI-PURIST PUERTO RICAN COOKING. DON’T TELL YOUR ABUELITA.
¿Qué ES
ESTO?
This all started because I was homesick—I learned to cook as a way to transport myself back to Puerto Rico. What has become my “style” evolved out of necessity, using whatever ingredients I could find nearby and spending what little time I had in the kitchen after class and work. So I learned traditional recipes, but allowed myself to cut a few corners every now and then. Because as long as it still tastes the same, the ancestors don’t have to know.

Ella?
I’m Carolina! I’m an art director, designer, and home cook born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I left the island to go to college, and currently live in Brooklyn with my boyfriend, our dog Nena, a pantry full of ingredients, and a fridge full of leftovers.
