Excerpt Ever dream of visiting far away places? Or hosting a spectacular, entertaining, edible event? This travel/cookbook is designed not only to entertain your taste buds, but also to take you on an exciting journey through time, back to an age of wooden ships and iron men, when the great explorers sailed the high seas in search of wealth and knowledge. Oh, and “arrgh” you ready to come aboard for some piratical fun? You become an expatriate from your journey’s beginning in Spain, propelled by the trade winds along the routes once taken by the explorers of old. As you progress in your long journey, you will learn facts and folklore concerning the amazing people you will meet along the way, all the while sampling savory recipes coming from these exotic lands. Appetizers—hors d’oeuvres, starters, bocas, and tapa recipes—are among the easiest delicacies to create. And, they’re fun! Suggestions for these tasty appetite ticklers are included in each chapter. The advantage of this type of cooking is that a large number of guests can easily be accommodated. For the hostess, an hors d’oeuvre party is much less stressful than a sit-down dinner. It’s more interesting and more fun! As your journey continues, don’t miss the breathtaking photos of unspoiled destinations that look today just as they did in a past so many years ago, images that make day dreams seem oh so real! Visual appeal in any social gathering is crucial to its success. In turn, so is the first bite and aftertaste. Some of these authentic recipes may be a little hard to swallow by today’s standards due to their ingredients. Because of this, I have taken the liberty of substituting foods or spices more appealing to today’s palates. The more adventurous can always choose the traditional ingredients. Life should fill you with questions and an eagerness to seek answers. Experiences help to make an individual grow. And, on your journey, it is memories that will fill your “treasure chest” to overflowing, a lifetime of remembrances and fulfillment. I hope that you will enjoy the many wondrous and beautiful destinations ahead of you, the delectable food and the merriment that await you.

Appeals to my penchant for armchair travel.
Like many cooking enthusiasts, I enjoy reading cookbooks the way other people read high suspense mysteries and Explorers Cookbook and Travel Guide fits the bill. It really appeals to my penchant for armchair travel. You are swept away with the trade winds and a taste of salt in the air. Yvonne Addairo has created a celebration of the aromatic, sweet and tart, spicy and mild flavors of the region underscored with the need to understand and appreciate the history behind the food.

Explorers Cookbook and Travel Guide is a cookbook without borders. Illustrated with the most amazing photos, it highlights the people from numerous cultures that made their homes in the region and their recipes. There is also big dose of history featuring swashbucklers, pirates and plenty of exciting local lore.

Whether you are a novice or master chef, you will enjoy the varieties of fresh salsas, the most amazing conch fritters and delicious callaloo. This book is designed to share with family and friends to create wonderful memories as only one can do with food. Enjoy, and as they say in the islands "there are more days than weeks, so don't rush time".
This book has a wealth of information for the home entertaining cook, as well as fantastic travel destination descriptions. The pirates of old, left us today with colorful stories to tell and their ports of call are ones you will long to visit. Your recipes look easy, and inviting to create. You've done a beautiful job with the large design and layout of this book and I am looking forward to receiving my hard cover copy soon.
