|  | | The Julia Child of Puerto Rican Cuisine Deserves More Recognition | | No one would guess from looking at Giovanna Huyke that she's one of the most important figures in Puerto Rican cuisine. She's barely over five feet tall, 62 years old, and completely unassuming. When I ask her what it was like to be the first woman to work the line in a Puerto Rican restaurant kitchen, she runs her hand through her short red hair and leaves it going every which way. I can tell she's trying not to cry. She takes off her glasses and wipes them down. "They didn't think I was going to make it," she laughs, "but I made it." | | | | | | | | Celebrating Latinx Heritage Month | | | | | | | | | The Spruce Eats on Instagram | | | | | | | | | |
