Costa Rica Chica Cookbook

Costa Rica blogger and bestselling author of Costa Rica Chica, Jen Beck Seymour is back to share with you some of her favorite North American recipes, and more specifically, how to make them in Costa Rica.

Some ingredients needed for North American dishes are not available in Costa Rica, but, no worries, Jen has the substitutions you need.

And if you live in North America, she gives you the U.S. equivalents so you can whip up these fabulous recipes in your home, too!

With the Costa Rica Chica Cookbook, Jen serves up a delicious spread of hearty, scrumptious food that everyone will enjoy — from breakfast, lunch and dinner specialties such as Homemade Cinnamon Rolls, Tomato Basil Soup with Rustic Bread, Italian Meatballs and Thin Crust Pizza, to sweet after-dinner (or anytime) treats like Coconut Almond Candy Bars and Chocolate Truffle Balls.

With easy-to-follow instructions and gorgeous color pictures for each and every recipe, you can’t go wrong!

When she’s not writing or blogging, she is either baking, hiking, playing piano, yoga-ing, sipping coffee, making arm candy or enjoying a glass of (boxed) wine… or yelling at her husband to come save her from a bug. She lives with her husband near Grecia, Alajuela, Costa Rica.
