Every Country Has a Rice Pudding
My mom used to make "rice and raisins" with dinner leftovers when I was a kid. It took a family trip to Costa Rica and my first arroz con leche for me to realize she was onto something. Rice pudding exists in nearly every country I've researched, from Turkey to Iran to Denmark. This post traces the global rice pudding family and reviews Mia Castro's arroz con dulce con ron y pasas, a Puerto Rican Christmas staple. Cold, creamy, cinnamon-topped. Come try it with me.


I Missed Pastelón in Puerto Rico. So I Made My Own.
The Puerto Rican dish I missed in San Juan, made at home from Mia Castro's Cocina Puerto Rico. Layered plantains, picadillo, and cheese.
