   Daisy,

   Hi, I went to see you in Toms River, and I work for the Elizabeth Board of Ed. I see you are scheduled to come to the H.S. on Tuesday, October 17. Would you let me know what time and if it’s going to be opened to the public. Some of us are interested in going to see you.

   Thanks

   I think you should contact Oprah Winfrey and go on her show. Have you tried syndicating your show? I hope to see you in syndication instead of solely on PBS.

   A U.S. Latina who has her own cooking show is amazing. Martha Stewart should have an ounce of your personality.

   Hi Daisy,
   I love watching your program on TV.
   The memories you bring back in la cocina talking about your abuela y mama also reminded me of mine especially at Christmas. Everyone got together in our cocina; abuela ,mami, tias, y primas. Man I can still smell the aromas of real boricua cooking in that old Bronx apartment. Anyway I want to congratulate you on a superb program. It’s wonderful to have a program reaching out to mainstream USA about the many different cultures and cooking con sabor latino. Especially the younger generation of latino y latinas that were adapting themselves to USA style of cooking. It makes me as I hope will make many others proud of their latin roots. By the way, as I was looking through your cook book I did not see a recipe for pinon or pastelon de maduros. I would really like to learn how to make it, so maybe in a future program I can learn how.

   Hola Vic

   Thanks for writing in, and for all of your kind words. It is certainly on my mission statement to reach this generation of young Latinos and Latinas in an effort to remind them of the foods of their mothers and grandmothers.
   Look for a pastelon tutorial on my food blog, BoriquaBlog next month. Timing is everything, my brother!!

   Saludos!

   Daisy,
   As a transplanted New Yorker, I miss having some of these foods you cook.

   In reading through your inciteful blogs and looking up your recipes (on your recipes page), I found myself wondering why you don’t have someone Combine the photo’s of the individual steps, as a separate link for those of us who’d like to see it how it looks when it’s being cooked.

   In one instance, regarding a recipe for Pasteles, I even noticed that a final step had been left out of the recipes (boiling the pastel for an hour) but it wasn’t left out of the photo blog Infact, it was a question by someone on some comment left on the recipe (who did’t know what was next), which I answered and even gave a web address to your newsletter where the step was mentioned.

   I’ll never forget that step, since there were many times I had to wait that interminable amount of time pacing around my grandmother’s kitchen so that I could have a taste of her pasteles!

   Oh, I just wanted to mention… instead of a juicer or Pastel machine, we have one of those new food processors - they come with a new blade now that resembles a food grater. I really recommend that option since it’s much faster than a juicer.

   I love your show.. it brings back memories. Btw - Have you ever heard of “Limbel”? It’s like a coconut Ice-y I used to get as a kid. I haven’t seen it on your show, but I wondered if you have found a recipe for it.

   Hola Steve,
   Thanks for the heads up. My trusty webmaster, Jason will take care of the ommission on the recipe, and thank you also for the tip on the food processor thingy. Those are the kinds of tips that make BBlog a great resource.
   Heard of “Limbel”?? Are you kidding? I used to grate my knuckle raw, working coconut on a box grater for my mother to make the little frozen treats. Today it is a lot easier, because you can make it with canned coconut milk and a little water to thin it. Sweeten with a little sugar, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and pour into ice trays…viola!
   Hasta pronto,
   Daisy

   I just want to tell you that I love your book and show. It inspired me to cook. I have suffered in the past from severe sinus problems and have not been able to smell or taste for years. A few years ago after a successful surgery, the ability to smell and taste came back. The summer of 06 is when I first saw your show, which had me making everything you made. I never liked cooking before, I enjoy it so much now and so does my family. Your recipes are easy to follow, you explain everything so
   well that it makes everything easy (especially when it comes to cuts of meat). Thank you so much and I hope to see more. I hope you will visit Chicago soon..

   Happy Holidays,

    I saw you on the Today Show last month. You seemed a little uneasy and nervous. Was the show fast-paced too much? Adios

    Lol !! I wasn’t nervous at all…it’s just a little tricky to juggle all those anchors at the same time! Everyone gets so excited about the food.

    I have your book and loved watching you on PBS. I am not crazy about Latino food, but you make me want to make everything! They all copy you with the “everyone in the pool” and “hot tub”… Thanks for still being around…

    Dear Daisy,

    I hope you will join the FoodNet Work Channel and show what real Spanish cooking is all about. Viewers should know that there are many many different latin foods in over the world.

    Dear Madelyn:

    Thanks for writing.

    I am looking forward to go back to work promoting the variety, history and flavors of Latino cuisine!

    Gracias,

    Daisy
