Coconuts and Collards Recipes and Stories from Puerto Rico to the Deep South VON DIAZ
“Diaz grew up shuttled between Puerto Rico and Atlanta, and her appreciation for both cultures and their rich culinary histories is showcased in this delightful collection of Puerto Rican comfort food recipes. . . . Alongside the recipes, Diaz also shares stories from her family history, an often tumultuous one grounded by memories of food prepared by and for loved ones. . . . The recipes are solid and imaginative, but it’s Diaz’s gift for storytelling that shines.” —Publishers Weekly
Hardcover $28.00 ISBN 978-0-8130-5665-4
“Coconuts and Collards is about the complex blend of history and agriculture that have shaped the island’s food and how Diaz found a way to blend two distinct cultures in a way that felt true to her own life.”—Bon Appétit “Provocative. . . . The recipes aren’t strictly Puerto Rican and they aren’t strictly Southern—they’re Diaz’s own, based on her personal food history and her love of both cuisines.”—Epicurious “It’s too simple to call Diaz’s dishes fusion food. What emerges through these recipes is something greater than the sum of [the book’s] two cooking cultures— the mainland South and the United States’ island South.”—Garden & Gun “Put[s] a modern spin on Puerto Rican cooking theory. Diaz may not be a trained chef or have a direct connection to a restaurant, but she has the voice to bring American-Puerto Rican cookery, as it exists today, into a broader consciousness.”—Eater “Part cookbook, part memoir, [Coconuts and Collards] shares recipes from author Von Diaz’s heritage, as well as memories of growing up in Puerto Rico and the American South.”—New York Magazine “A clear-eyed, achingly tender confession of how food can hurt, and how it can heal. . . . Coconuts and Collards is every bit as poignant as it is appetizing: a testament to how change and upheaval can force us to grow even deeper roots.” —Atlanta Journal Constitution MORE BOOKS: UPRESS.UFL.EDU | ORDERS: 800-226-3822
