I heard about the book from friends who picked their copy up while in Z who really enjoyed reading it. I got copy just prior to heading off to Z for week. Read the book in a couple of days while laying under a palapa on La Ropa. Loved the characters, twists & turns in the plot and detailed the detailed descriptions of places in and around Z. I have recommended the book to a number of friends and am lending it to a couple who are heading off to Z at the end of Mar. Would love to see a follow-up book on how things have progressed.
The Perfect Zihua Beach-Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Strongly suggest you don't start your read on the plane. Save it for reading on Playa LaRopa itself in Z to get a real feel for the story in the novel's actual setting. This is a fantasy story for either a man or a woman who loves life's experiences, romance, great food and Zihuatanejo. There are no complex story-lines or complicated plots. This is a breezy read as gentle as the waves lapping onto LaRopa and must be read right on the beach for the full effect. After returning to the cold north country re-read it to relive the wonderful experience that is Zihuatanejo.
The Cooking School at Z
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The book jacket was the first thing to make me pick up the book. Interesting, great colors. By the 2nd chapter I found myself sneaking off to corners, eating lunch in the car, reading at stop lights just to get to another page. I have always traveled with bags packed in my mind only. This book makes me want to see Zihuatanejo and the people. I liked the way the receipts sort of sneaked into the story. It is dream of everyone to find their paradise. What a great read. Thank you for a wonderful story.
A great summer read.

The Cooking School at Z is a great summer read. No beach bag should be without it. Tantalizing foods. Exotic locales. Dan Kennedy truly captures the essence of Zihuantanejo. I was checking airfares by Chapter 4.
Loved Cooking School at Z

I thoroughly enjoyed The Cooking School at Z. The story captured my imagination and the story telling inspired my "inner-foodie". It's a great read.
