I live in the mountains of Costa Rica, the views are fabulous! My favorite cookbook is "The Joy of Cooking", followed closely by Julia Child's Mastering French Cooking" - I like Indian food,too. You couldn't call the food in Costa Rica a cuisine, by any means. We have the most fabulous assortment of fruits and vegetables here - and most people eat rice and beans, every day, at least 2x a day. I like to read,sew,garden,entertain,cook(of course), walk my dogs, play with my cat, visit with my grandchildren. Not necessarily in that order.
