1 part sour; 2 parts sweet
Vanderhoof. This was a fine effort from Ms. I wasn't sure about it - this book takes some time to "ripen" at least for me. She doesn't spend any time on how they were able to take two years off and I guess that ok but I kept wondering about it. When they actually get to the Caribbean the whole book really blooms. The love that these two feel for the areas they live in becomes infectious. The recipes are interesting but where would this Michigan resident find the ingredients? When the author is writing about the people she meets, Mr. Butter, the Minister of Rum, Dingis and family, those are the most WONDERFUL passages in the book. This was not a perfect book but it is an interesting book and I'm so glad I read it.

Wonderful Escape
I loved all the recipes too. I love the Caribbean and this was a wonderful trip through the Islands.
