TONY RICAN is the creator of “Average Guy Gourmet,” a YouTube cooking channel with over 30,000 subscribers and 45,000 Facebook followers, featuring simple and fun recipes created by an average dad. Born in Chicago, Tony is the first generation off the island, with his family originally from Santurce, Puerto Rico.
Tony spent 15 years on the road as a professional wrestler before settling down as a husband and father. His greatest accomplishment—becoming a dad—inspired him to reconnect with his heritage and explore Puerto Rican culture through its cuisine, a journey he shares with his father and children. In addition to his YouTube success, Tony coached pee wee football for seven years, instilling teamwork and dedication in young athletes.
He combines the theatrics and production skills from his wrestling career with the simple, flavorful meals taught to him by his father, making cooking accessible to everyone. Tony is also the author of the Amazon best-selling “The Easy Puerto Rican Cookbook.”
Our mission is to make food fun and accessible for everyone, showing people of all ages that cooking can be both enjoyable and easy. We believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home, a place where friends and family can come together to create lasting memories. Through our engaging and straightforward recipes, we aim to inspire confidence and creativity in the kitchen, making it a welcoming space for all. We are dedicated to fostering a sense of community and togetherness, encouraging people to share their culinary experiences and bond over delicious meals. Our goal is to demonstrate that with a little bit of guidance and enthusiasm, anyone can become a skilled home cook and enjoy the process of making and sharing food.

50 Recipes That Rock Review
This books has all the recipes similar to how my grandmother cooked. Very easy to follow. Will definitely be using the recipe's. Gifted one to my sister since she too wants to have some traditional recipes.
Easy Puerto Rican Cookbook
I was looking for easy recipes that I could for our family of five and that my college aged daughter could use for herself as well. This book did both! I follow the author on social media and enjoy his recipes so I knew the food would be good. His recipes are always easy to follow.
The Bachelor Cookbook Review
This is such a wonderful intro to Puerto Rican cooking! We’re visiting the island for the first time and this book was in our rental, & I’m so glad. The author speaks to the reader like you’re just hanging out learning about the food from a friend. I’m actually vegan but I’m buying this book anyway bc the meals can be veganized and I love the way it’s written. Includes every basic meal, includes ingredient swaps, and doesn’t make any recipe feel above the reader. Very approachable, love it!
The Easy Puerto Rican Cookbook Review
I love this cookbook! Tony Rican makes cooking delicious recipes simple and easy. I also enjoy his YouTube channel, which is a blast to watch. The recipes are simple to follow but taste like you're making elevated, gourmet food. It has been easy to use, I have mostly every item already at home (which is a huge plus that I haven't had to go out and buy a ton of new ingredients), and the recipes are written so that it is easy to follow. I recommend pan-seared steaks with gorgonzola sauce, Thai-style chicken with coconut milk, hoisin braised beef, and easy shrimp paella! This is a great cookbook, the best I have used.
