ABOUT THE BOOK

Cooking Con Omi: A Love Letter to Puerto Rican Home Cooking by TikTok creator and Next Level Chef runner-up Omi Hopper, a vibrant collection of 100 recipes that capture the true flavors of Puerto Rican family kitchens. Blending tradition with everyday accessibility, Omi shares classics like mofongo, asopao de gandules, and arroz con dulce alongside creative, U.S.-influenced favorites. Her recipes are written for real home cooks—approachable, flexible, and rooted in generational knowledge.


More than a recipe collection, the book documents the difference between restaurant Puerto Rican food and the dishes cooked by abuelas and busy parents. It’s a timely, culture-forward addition to the growing conversation around regional Latino home cooking.
