Two things, done honestly: a Christmas cookbook and original Taíno art on T-shirts. Everything here is real — the recipes are nine traditional family recipes, credited to the Puerto Rican cooks who published them, plus forty-one of Frank's own from his Comiendo Bueno blog (2013–2014) and his own coquito recipe, and the art is original and drawn from Taíno petroglyphs.

The dishes that define a Puerto Rican Christmas: pasteles, pernil, arroz con gandules, coquito in three versions, tembleque, arroz con dulce, and flan — plus forty-one of Frank's own recipes from his Comiendo Bueno blog (2013–2014) and his own legendary coquito — with the traditions behind them (parranda, Nochebuena, Three Kings Day), a Nochebuena menu, a season timeline, and printables: coquito bottle labels and holiday gift tags.
Christmas in Puerto Rico is one of the longest Christmas seasons in the world — from the first parranda in late November, past New Year's Day and Three Kings Day on January 6, and on through the Octavitas to the Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián in mid-January. This book brings that table to yours.
