yum!

have been using this book for a few months now and really enjoy the recipes.

Treat Yourself to a Taste of the Islands

My sister has this book and I was impressed by the range of recipes it carries. (see the Search Inside the Book for a sampling) The format is easy to use, with the list of ingredients down the side of the page next to the instructions. At a glance, you can see if you have on-hand what the recipe requires. Some ingredients are not on the average American's cupboard shelf, but the author tells where to search for them (Hispanic grocery stores) or suggests a substitution. The glossary goes into more detail on this, such as explaining the six forms of coconut (grated, shredded, coconut water, milk, cream & oil). Cook up an island feast for a party of friends or just treat yourself. This book makes it easy.
