Cooking in Costa Rica: The Ultimate Expat Guide to Grocery Shopping, Recipes & Dining | Tropical Living & Meal Planning Tips

When you move to a Spanish-speaking country like Costa Rica, it can be daunting to stock your kitchen and cook meals when you do not know the names of your ingredients in Spanish. And, even when you know the Spanish translation, it can be a challenge to find what you are looking for. Gloria Yeatman, Costa Rica expat, blogger, and co-creator of the popular website "Retire for Less in Costa Rica," has created a combination English/Spanish food dictionary, cookbook, shopping guide to make the transition easier. This practical guide and on-going reference tool includes a comprehensive English/Costa Rican Spanish dictionary of foods and things you find in the kitchen, a glossary of cooking terms and helpful adjectives, recipes and ingredient substitutions, metric conversion tables, and a resource section with links to expat cooking blogs, Facebook pages, specialty products, and more.
