Kim Caviness, co-founder and editor in chief of Familia Kitchen, grew up in Santurce, Puerto Rico in a small, family-owned hotel. She loves to cook for family and friends, learning from her Puerto Rican mom and American dad how to entertain guests with style and sabor. For this cookbook, Kim talked to hundreds of Latino homecooks about their favorite recipes and food stories, tapping in her 20+ years of journalism and content experience, including at the Boston Herald, Condé Nast Traveler and as chief content officer of several agencies. Her husband, Lyn, and son, Roberto “Bob,” love when she makes Puerto Rico family dishes she learned to make from her mom, Marisa, and from “El Libro”: Cocina Criolla, the Boricua cooking bible.
