Cooking con Omi: A Love Letter to Puerto Rican Home Cooking by Omi Hopper — a vibrant celebration of Puerto Rican cuisine from the TikTok star and Next Level Chef runner-up.
“Omi is truly an incredible cook—trust me, I saw it firsthand. You’re in for quite the treat!” —Gordon Ramsay
Growing up in Puerto Rico, food was as central to Omi Hopper’s life as the culture itself. When her family moved to the mainland, she began to lose that connection — until she started cooking the dishes of home as a way to keep her heritage alive for her own family.
In Cooking con Omi, she shares 100 classic and US-influenced Latino recipes that capture the warm, lively spirit of Puerto Rican cooking. From Tostadas Francesas de Pasta de Guayaba y Queso (Guava and Cheese French Toast) and Guanimes en Coco con Bacalao Guisado to essential Mofongo, hearty Sancocho, and much more, every dish is infused with the joy, stories, and traditions that make this cuisine so special.
Complete with personal headnotes, sidebars on ingredients and history, and vibrant full-color photography, this is more than a cookbook. It is a culinary love letter — a way for some readers to visit Puerto Rico through its flavors, and for others a way back home.
Full of heart, flavour, and celebration, Cooking con Omi is the joyful invitation to the Puerto Rican table you’ve been waiting for.
