4.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasing Cook!, May 6, 2007
This review is from: Cooking the Central American Way: Culturally Authentic Foods Including Low-Fat and Vegetarian Recipes (Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks) (Library Binding)
My husband and i have visited Costa Rica and couple of times and have actually purchased property there for retirement. The kind people, flora fauna and, of course, the fresh foods are magical for us.

This little book has helped me to get the real flavor of these countries cuisine and has definitely widened my cooking skills. Some of the receipes are a little overwhelming, but not actually that difficult once you get into it and have the ingredients. This is the reason for 4 instead of 5 star rating.

The plantains, bean soup and seviche camarones (although i used a variety of white fish) are all time favorites around our house. Get ready for lot's of compliments!

This review is from: Cooking the Central American Way: Culturally Authentic Foods Including Low-Fat and Vegetarian Recipes (Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks) (Library Binding)
I expected more recipes, more variety, and definitely a bigger "cook book". I felt that this was a very juvenile type cookbook... maybe for a 13 year old just learning how to use the kitchen. Like someone else said, most of the recipes you can get off the internet for free.
