and sazón.
Hi, I’m Elena—the cook behind Made with Sazón. I grew up in a Puerto Rican household where the kitchen was the heartbeat. Those meals still guide the recipes I share.
My pernil recipe was passed down to me by my mother. This playbook brings that tradition and guidance to help you bring your own holiday table to life.

Is it helpful if this is my first time making pernil?
The playbook is made for cooks preparing their first pernil or Puerto Rican holiday dinner. The recipe, tips, and linked videos help make the process feel less intimidating. It can also provide value to those with experience in the kitchen, as my pernil method is not typically found in most recipes.

This playbook includes my pernil recipe, tips and tricks, four traditional sides, linked step-by-step videos, and playlist recommendations together in one PDF.
