Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Just like the other reviewer wrote, this is the first cookbook I've read cover to cover in a while. It is extensive - you won't want for recipes on anything - from appetizers right through dessert and cocktails. It fits a definite void in my cookbook collection too - I have some 50+ cookbooks but nothing like this book. Nearly every recipe sounds delicious, and the writing is easy going and reflects the author's clear enthusiasm for cooking and Latin American/Caribbean food and culture. My only wish is for more photos. The ones included are beautiful, but I count only 32 (4 sections of 8 each). Still don't let that stop you from getting this captivating, unique cookbook that I'm sure will be a great culinary jouney for me, and become a classic in my library.
