🎉 Annual r/PuertoRicoFood Giveaway – Year 5!

It’s that time of year again!

For the past 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of giving back to this awesome community, and this year, I’m keeping the tradition alive once again.

When I first joined r/PuertoRicoFood, we were only around 100 members. When I later became a moderator, the sub had grown to around 200. Today, we’re over 18.8k members strong and still growing, which is honestly incredible to see.

What started as a small community sharing Puerto Rican food, recipes, memories, and culture has turned into something really special. Seeing people share family dishes, help each other cook, recommend restaurants, and keep our food traditions alive is what keeps this place going. This giveaway is simply my way of giving something back to the community that helped build this sub into what it is today.

This year I’ll once again be giving away 5 copies of:

📖 The Easy Puerto Rican Cookbook 100 Classic Recipes Made Simple by Tony Rican 🙌🏽

And… this year we might even have a signed copy going out to one lucky member 👀

Whether you’re mastering mofongo or just want to improve your arroz con gandules game, this book is an awesome addition to the kitchen.

👀 How to Enter:

Comment below with your favorite Puerto Rican dish, restaurant, food truck, or memory related to Puerto Rican food. That’s it!

Winners will be chosen at random; everyone has an equal shot.

📌 Q&A

Q: Do I have to provide my real name for shipping?
