The Christmas table, in one book

Navidad Boricua is our first book: the dishes that define a Puerto Rican Christmas — pasteles, pernil, arroz con gandules, coquito in three versions, tembleque, arroz con dulce, and flan — plus the traditions behind them (parranda, Nochebuena, Three Kings Day) and printables: coquito bottle labels and holiday gift tags.

Christmas in Puerto Rico is one of the longest Christmas seasons in the world. This book brings that table to yours, wherever you are.

Taíno-style coquí frog

Meet the coquí

Co-quí! Co-quí!

The coquí is Puerto Rico's tiny tree frog, and its two-note call is the sound of the island at night — the sound every Boricua recognizes, wherever in the world they hear it. It is small, it is loud, and it is ours.

Our coquí wears the flag. You will find him all over this shop — on the shirts, in the art, and in everything we make. When you see him, you know where it comes from.
