Nydia in Bonaire
Netherlands Antilles
I live in Bonaire, in the Netherlands Antilles, originally from Canada. Perhaps you've never heard of Bonaire - neither had I until I met my husband! We're a tiny island, part of the "ABC Islands" just off the coast of Venezuela. Bonaire is known for its outstanding diving conditions (which I have never experienced, too scary!)
I have always enjoyed cooking and baking, but since having my son I have been endlessly searching for interesting, healthy, and most of all tasty recipes for him to enjoy (not an easy task!) After coming across recipezaar, I've been hooked ever since! The only difficulty I have is since we're such a small island (population hovers around 12,000 inhabitants) it's not always easy to find the ingredients I need!
