Cooking the Caribbean Way: To Include New Low-Fat and Vegetarian Recipes (Easy Menu Ethnic Cookbooks)

Rating:
Summary: too much filling, not enough recipe.
Review: I was so disappointed in this book. It uses pages and pages to talk about the area, and more pages with elementary info about cooking. The recipes are VERY few, and in terms of low fat, they make "suggestions" that are childish and well known to anyone who eats the low fat way. I will never buy another cookbook on line.

Summary: This is a great CHILDRENS' book!
Review: This is a charming little book, and only one in an entire JUVENILE series: Easy Menu Ethnic Cooking the Whatever Way.

The whole point of this series is to introduce juveniles to other cultures, traditions, regions, and cuisines. And to get them into the kitchen, cooking, and some idea of good nutrition. So of course the material is basic and straightforward. Frankly, I think these are delightful introductions to a foreign culture and cuisine even for adults.

I'm also thrilled to see that many books in this series have been, or are being updated, to include lower fat and vegetarian options.

I highly recommend this series for anyone wanting to broaden their children's tastes, and get them cooking.
