Aida your the best. I'm a black woman that cooks great american food but you put me on the map with your authentic Puerto rican recipes. My Puerto Rican friends love it. 😊. your such a outstanding cook, i discovered you not long ago.
These videos are great Thank you. I also have a cook book purchase late 79’s in PR called Puerto Rican Cookery by Valldejuli still sold today lots of easy recipes..
Like having your own grandma teach you how to cook stuff. This is how it would look in a restaurant too so it looks right. =3 These go good with sauce too. I also eat these with Goya Hot Sauce. That sauce is really versatile and goes well with most puerto rican dishes. =3
Yauita in English is what Jamaicans and some west Indian people call coco / Taro root and there are some variations of them. If my memory serves me right the word Yautia is the native name for the root given by the indigenous Indians who were the inhabitants of Puerto Rico the Caribbean/west indies and the rest of the Americas. Thank you for sharing your recipe, I grew up eating these.
hi I was born in PR but raised in Rochester New York. I love my Spanish food and I didn't know how to do it . but now I can do it with all the good flavors of my country thank you so much for your video and it's an English that I can understand it. I do speak Spanish but I can't read and write it so having this in English means so much to me. Love your videos.
Two Puerto Rican dishes I've always wanted to make were alcapurrias and pasteles and was too scared to make them and they turn out horrible but now after watching this video I feel confident in cooking alcapurrias... you make it seem so easy!
thanks so much! My husband is Puerto Rican and I am Mexican American. These are his favorite Puerto Rican food and I promised I would but my cooking skill to the test by making these for him! You broke it down so easily for me and I will make his day by making these for him.
I love these! I’m a black/ Panamanian and grew up in East Harlem eating these. Thank you for the recipe. I can’t wait to try to make them. I can cook soul food really well and I’m ready to expand other cultures. I also loved your video on pasteles. ❤️❤️❤️
I miss all my Puerto Rican foods something I cook Puerto Rican food My mama was the best cook and all these foods she cook tradition like the way is done in the island like it was done when she was a childhood. she pass away 6 years ago but still I miss her so much and when I see these videos just make think of her more but in a happy way! Thank you for 🙂🤗your video
Ims so glad I found u. My abuelita passed away and everyday I cry for her. Theres still so much she didn't get to show me. I want to learn so my kids grow up with our culture food and I get to spoil my grand babes in the future with delicious authentic PR food. Thank you ♥️
Yautia-Taro root. Back in the day My mom used to make all those things. She made a living selling them. She taught me that if you put guineos verdes and plátanos verdes in very hot tap water for a little while, they are easier to peel. It works. Also when she was going to make things with yuca, she scored it like a platano and then peeled it the same way. Much easier than using a potato peeler. Love you videos. Keep them coming. Gracias
The memories!!! I have to make these for my son because it looks like my moms. He never got to taste abuelas alcapurrias because she passed when he was still a baby. Thank you mi Reina! Bendiciones.
Thank you, I like the easy calm way you show how to make all this tasty meals. In many cases we remember eating this food, but never learned how to cook all those wonderful dishes.
I’m Puerto Rican and we put them in warm water you split them first little knife then put it in the sink with warm water give it a few minutes and it’s easy was to open the skin off I learn from the oldies from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I haven’t done it in a long time due to health issues and I’m 67 so all this goodies I can’t eat or make them anymore 😩😩😩😩 but if you ever visit Puerto Rico you would love love love it the flavor is out of this world 😋😋😋😋😋
You are my favorite go to person for authentic puerto rican recipes! i truly appreciate how much effort and work you put into your videos and how CLEARLY you explain everything. THANK YOU from the bottom of my ❤
Oh my Goddess this brought me to tears. This is the BEST tutorial of one of my most favorite treats. The recipe was lost on my family but I cannot believe how identical it is to Pasteles!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this!!
thank you for this recipe. im Puerto Rican and i never made it before, but after seeing your video i attempted it and it was wonderful! everyone loved it! Thank you!
You taught me how to make arroz con gandules...THANK YOU!!! I love your channel. you are like an aunt or something just cooking in her kitchen. Relaxed and easy, I learn a lot from you Miss.
Hey @Sweets and Beyond, in order to make pealing plantains easier I usually run them through hot water for a few minutes, then when you make the first slit you can just peel the whole plantain in a few clean swipes its awesome because when I make mangu it makes the whole process much easier. I hope that this tip helps bc it is certainly a life saver for me bc lord knows i hated peeling platanos w a passion haha.
Thank you so much! I grew up eating food like this and relleno de papa. Now I can finally make it at home for my family! The videos were well worth the wait. I am very excited. Especially since they were all easy to follow, well explained and simple. You didn't make it intimidating at all. I can't wait to show my wela!
I'm from Brooklyn, NY with roots in Ponce Puerto Rico. Her recipes are major authentic. This lady is gold. Great video. please make more, you have a new subscriber here!
My daughter's love spanish food and they have alot of spanish friends who they brag about there mom's cooking so I've started making some recipes I've made the roast pork marinated in bitter orange, arroz con gandules, yucca(😍) and dabbled with carne asada tacos...this will be my next recipe thank u
Thank you!! I've been patiently waiting for this one. My husband is Boricua and I never got a chance to learn this recipe from his mom before she passed away...so, thank you so much for sharing this delicious special treat. BTW, I love how your sense of humor is showing through. Keep up the great work!👏
I love all of your recipes. My Mami is gone and a lot of her recipes are gone as well. You cook just like she did! So I've made a few of your recipes to date and I think of her as I'm enjoying them. Thank you for sharing with us. Que Dios te Bendiga siempre.
I learned how to cook as I got order as a single parent I became a good cook by learning Spanish recipes from Spanish people like you thank you and god bless
all l can say is....I finally learned from you...how to make alcapurrias…….the way it suppose to make....thanks to you...''LA REINA DE LA COCINA''......KEEP IT UP...THANK YOU...MAY GOD BLESS.....''DANNY BOY''....DE LA EL BARRIO''...….''SPANISH HARLEM''...NYC....
One of my all time favorites. Thank u for sharing as it brings back memories of my grandmother when she used to make them when i was a kid. Gracias, happy holidays y buen provecho! 😊
I love love love love this recipe Ida! Thank you for sharing! And about the yautía, I see in the comments that some people think it is taro root, but even though both root vegetables are very similar, they are not the same thing. What is commonly known as taro root in English is mainly what Puerto Ricans call "malanga". However, I don't think the alcapurrias would taste extremely different if one is used instead of the other.
Thank you for your informative video. I love these, and just got back from the island 2 weeks ago to visit my cousins. I had some in Pinones. Now I'm going to give you a little tip that works for me when I peel those bananas. I put them in hot, hot water for about 1/2 hour. If the water gets cold I put in more hot water. After a while, the peel comes off much easier. The banana does not cook in the hot water--it just gets warm. Now to get the ingredients because I am making those today. They make them with yucca too!
Aida, you make it look so easy! and it's true, everyone has their own version, and my mom has hers but the more old school u are, the more difficult your method is and her method is delicious too but so hard! I never thought to even attempt to try to make them...but this way I would definitely try.. you make it look like a piece of cake. love it!
Any Puerto Rican recipe that I need to know off or get a reminder I only follow it from You . Seeing the Guineitos en Escabeche I was happy . With I be making for Thanksgiving. You're the best !
I follow your recipes they are absolutely a hit every where I go. when my grandmother passed we kinda lost our heritage, but thanks to ur TH-cam videos......it's going be OK lol
That's interesting, in Haiti we call Yautia "Malanga"! We have another root vegetable that we call taro "tayo". As far as I know, malanga is the African name for yautia, some caribbean countries call it malanga & some yautia. I'm sure there are other names floating around.......
Porque es que hay gente que marca "dislike"? . Es un video muy genial buenas ideas y gran sabor? Me fascina su forma de ensenar y simplicidad de explicacion. Buen trabajo! Y pal'car' los que no les gusten.
I just love how you explain everything English and Spanish so clear....gracias por tus recetas!! I am not Puertorriqueña but my husband is and he tease me, he tells me I was born in the wrong country because I learned so much from you. Thanks again!!!
I just found your videos, I’m from California and only know Mexican foods, so I’m glad to learn about Porto Rican recipes. You do an excellent job explaining the techniques. Thanks.
Hello and thank you so much for all your wonderful videos, I'm buying your recipe book this Saturday! I have all these ingredients except for the hard green banana..can I use a regular nanna? ;) xoxo (just using Gardein beefless crumbles tho) xoxo Plz don't label me & I doubt you would 'cause you just the sweetest woman on You Tube! I made your Relleno da Papas & Picadillo with it and honestly, it come out YUMMMMY too! Because of you, my world is so much tastier! WEEE!!
Nunca me imagine que esto fue tan facil de hacer. Por alguna razon siempre imagine que tenia un monton de ingredientes. Mil gracias por hacer este video. Pronto estaré mudandome a Estados Unidos y quiero aprender hacer comidas tipicad puertorriqueña para hacerlas a mi esposo cuando esté allí. 👍👌
Hello Aida my name is Sonia I am from New jersey love your all your recipes look so delicious many blessings to you and your beautiful family godbless you all ❤️❤️
In English and perhaps other languages, “Yautía” can be translated to Cocoyam or Taro. Yet, perhaps it may be very similar but not the exact root vegetable. Thank you for your video, I’ll be sharing it!
Hi my name is sandy and I love your videos I was wondering if you could do a seafood salad or better yet ensalada de pulpo. Thank you for taking the time to make your video. I'm currently pregnant and super hungry lol
Alcapurrias are one of my favorite cuchifritos. I grew up eating these in the Bronx, NY. I am seeing this video for the first time when it’s 8 years old. I want to try to make these someday.
Chevere!! Mira! muchacha I'm watching it on my big screen TV, girl! I grew up in my Brooklyn Court St , Pacific St. Congress St.. and Cabo Rojo Puerto Rico USA. TumbaO!! 4ever! from Califa DTB
Honestly, I like how you make it not overwhelming , & I also like how you sometimes ... you break it down how to do something. I have refreshed my memory on ccooking con tus videos la comida de mi pueblo y you have neva sterred me wrong , my food always comes out looking good & most importantly tasting...delicioso ! gracias y bendiciones ♡
Carlota Chmielewski but it also starts to cook the banana which you don’t want for this. I use that technique when I am cooking them but if you need them raw the boiling water changes the texture
I remember when I took my late husband (he was English) to Puerto Rico to meet my relatives and, while we were there, we ate these from a cart. He loved trying all the foods of P.R. like these!
I checked out the video I'm going to try this recipe for the acapulas I'll let you know later how they turn out seems pretty legit I'm a chef I want to introduce these to my clients in the Caribbean they have never tried them so I think this will be a nice treat for them thank you I will be in touch and let you know how these things worked out I'm sure they're going to be great keep cooking keep smiling you're wonderful awesome and great personality thank you so very much Chef Eric
Lol, I used to hate removing green banana skins for that...black nails for days! Then my mum said to me to rub some oil on my hands before doing it and it helps but gloves are better.
Aida your the best. I'm a black woman that cooks great american food but you put me on the map with your authentic Puerto rican recipes. My Puerto Rican friends love it. 😊. your such a outstanding cook, i discovered you not long ago.

I love that she likes to keep everything new
Awesome
Plantain hack: soak the plantain in hot water for 10 minutes. The husk’s will peel off like butter.
Thank you I always hate peeling green plantains
True Dat!!

Any Puerto Rican recipe that I need to know off or get a reminder I only follow it from You . Seeing the Guineitos en Escabeche I was happy . With I be making for Thanksgiving. You're the best !

Hello! I Love your channel. I have tried some of your recipes and they turned out delicious. Thanks for sharing !
I follow your recipes they are absolutely a hit every where I go. when my grandmother passed we kinda lost our heritage, but thanks to ur TH-cam videos......it's going be OK lol
Yautia is called Taro root in english
Yautía is not taro root though, in Puerto Rico taro root is called malanga. Both are delicious nonetheless.
here's a cool explanation I found. www.thespruce.com/taro-malanga-eddo-whats-the-difference-2138083
hudvalboy ,
That's interesting, in Haiti we call Yautia "Malanga"! We have another root vegetable that we call taro "tayo". As far as I know, malanga is the African name for yautia, some caribbean countries call it malanga & some yautia. I'm sure there are other names floating around.......
Both are types of taro root. Yautia is Xanthosoma sagittifolium (blue taro root), and Malanga is Xanthosoma roseum.
They look delicious and easy to make you explain very well to the people that they want to make it but they didn’t know how to. Thanks ❤❤😊😊
Hi- The translation for the root vegetable in the English Caribbean is coco. Some have a purplish tinge and others white. Thanks for the great recipe
Porque es que hay gente que marca "dislike"? . Es un video muy genial buenas ideas y gran sabor? Me fascina su forma de ensenar y simplicidad de explicacion. Buen trabajo! Y pal'car' los que no les gusten.
Ida you are a great teacher, thanks for the recipe. xo *Lydia*

So glad I found your channel!!
Glad yo found me too!

Mil gracias por hacer este video. Pronto estaré mudandome a Estados Unidos y quiero aprender hacer comidas tipicad puertorriqueña para hacerlas a mi esposo cuando esté allí.
👍👌
let the bananas sit in hot or warm water for 30 minutes peels but first cut the corners off... Peels faster and wont damage the bananas...
Hello Aida my name is Sonia I am from New jersey love your all your recipes look so delicious many blessings to you and your beautiful family godbless you all ❤️❤️
In English and perhaps other languages, “Yautía” can be translated to Cocoyam or Taro. Yet, perhaps it may be very similar but not the exact root vegetable. Thank you for your video, I’ll be sharing it!
you had my kitchen smelling beautifully!!! thank you for all your recipes and knowledge
Hi my name is sandy and I love your videos I was wondering if you could do a seafood salad or better yet ensalada de pulpo. Thank you for taking the time to make your video. I'm currently pregnant and super hungry lol
Sandybell Ayala Congrats! Let me see what I can do!
Oh thank you so much. I dream of your food lol I think it's the hormones but they look so delicious
Alcapurrias are one of my favorite cuchifritos. I grew up eating these in the Bronx, NY. I am seeing this video for the first time when it’s 8 years old. I want to try to make these someday.

Viva Cabo Rojo from a Cofresi.
Honestly, I like how you make it not overwhelming , & I also like how you sometimes ... you break it down how to do something. I have refreshed my memory on ccooking con tus videos
la comida de mi pueblo y you have neva sterred me wrong , my food always comes out looking good & most importantly tasting...delicioso ! gracias y bendiciones ♡
I learned that if you drop the green bananas and plantains in boiling water for 2 minutes, they peel easier.
yes. or just sit them under running hot water. it works great, less time consuming
But you also slice on the side slightly and cut both ends of the platano or green banana. WEPA
True but I don't think it'll taste the sams
You remind me of my younger days I learned on the island how to cook these dishes from generous lovely ladies like yourself
Carlota Chmielewski but it also starts to cook the banana which you don’t want for this. I use that technique when I am cooking them but if you need them raw the boiling water changes the texture
Thank you so much
I love watching your face as you talk about your memories and family while making food thank you
You explain everything beautifully and so easy to follow! Thank you for your videos!
I remember when I took my late husband (he was English) to Puerto Rico to meet my relatives and, while we were there, we ate these from a cart. He loved trying all the foods of P.R. like these!
I can't wait to try it. Do you have the recipe cod fish fritters? (Bacalau)
Yes I do!

Lol, I used to hate removing green banana skins for that...black nails for days! Then my mum said to me to rub some oil on my hands before doing it and it helps but gloves are better.
Your videos are wonderful. So clear and accurate. Good work.
