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!

Cooking The Central American Way: Culturally Authentic Foods...
November 19, 2008
Format:Library Binding
This book has few recipes of each country of Central America, Caribean, and some recipes from South America,the most popular. Has pictures of the menu. Easy menu.

If you consider the target audience and the size of the book, it is OK and by no means intends to be an authority of the subject. Contains some great recipes but seems a very broad range of recipes for example Tortillas (Mexican), chimichurri (South American)and Johnny Cakes (Caribbean). Also has some standard Latin American peasant recipes.
This is available in places as a PDF so look around and get yourself a bargain rather than the expensive hard copy book (I have the entire library of these books).

Not worth the money
I expected more recipes, more variety, and definitely a bigger "cook book". I felt that this was a very juvenile type cookbook... Read more
