Once a year,just before Christmas, my husband would take us to Turtle Bay resturant for our anniversary dinner. It's a really long drive but we both loved the food so it was well worth it. A few years ago I noticed the book in the resturant and asked about it. Of course we bought the book.
I've cooked quite a few of the dishes and they've always turned out fantastic! Every recipe just makes your mouth water and the illustrations are beautiful. The ingredients are not hard to find and the directions are clear and easy to follow. Excellent book!!
Perhaps this year I'll go back for dinner.

Several years ago I asked my son and daughter-in-law for this cookbook--I was using it while staying at their house. They gave me their copy and asked for it back this year. I couldn't give it up, so I ordered one for them. I have been living in Oaxaca Mexico, and found the recipes very compatible with the products available there--and all four of us love Latin American and Carribbean cuisine. The recipes are a little daunting at first because most of the dishes call for several different recipes in the book, but you quickly get used to it. They are also a little light on the spice--meaning hot peppers, cayenne, etc. But of course that is a matter of taste, and the American palate isn't as tough as ours, probably! All in all, it's a great cookbook.
