    I love to cook and was hoping that someone could point me in the direction of a good resource online for cooking tasty meals with uniquely tropical or unusual Costa Rica ingredients?

    Any ideas?

    You will find a lot of recipes in the following links but of course they are in Spanish but, you gotta’ start learning Spanish soon anyway, right?

    Thank you Scott. I will take a good long look at these.

    There is nothing I would consider special. The most used “spice” in Costa Rica is [i]”Salsa Lizano”[/i] and for those who like it hot [i]Tabasco[/i], from what I have seen so far. Pastry is mostly sweet.

    For those lurkers and Lizano addicts who live in central Florida, you can get Salsa Lizano, oceanside in Melbourne, at a strip mall specialty grocery store on A1A [forget the name]. It’s less expensive there than internet purchases.

    correction: it’s Melbourne Beach Market in Melbourne Beach -and who would not drive many miles [or kilometers] for Salsa Lizano?
