excerpt from Chapter 1 "Feasting and Foraging in Costa Rica is a nonfiction love story. To those of us who adore well prepared ethnic food, we see museums in markets and history and culture reflected in kitchens and pantries. Few travel experiences are more rewarding than breaking bread with local people, on their turf, sharing their comfort food. Immersing ourselves in a new land and unfamiliar cuisine is like gaining a new intimate friend for life." |
