There is no reason to be intimidated by, cutting and peeling yuca. Yuca is actually is very easy to work with, but I've had quite a few readers comment to me that they arent sure how to best peel and cut yuca.  So I made a quick video to show how, check it out here and after you do go ahead and make my yucca pie recipe.

Its been one year since I began selling my cookbook and am happy to share that we sold over 1000 copies in the first year!!  That's a lot of Gallo Pintos, Tropical Mango Salsas, Ceviches and other recipes that Im hoping have made it to the home of some lucky people.  Thank you to all my distributors who have helped to make this possible.  Lately I've had more and more people comment to me that they saw the book in the airport and once they got home went online to try to find.  Currently you can easily order here on Etsy where I can accept payments via paypal but we are working to add the book to Amazon so those in the US can purchase that much easier.  Also a reminder to those visiting Jaco, I have been offering private cooking experiences, I have had a great time with these in meeting people from all over the world while sharing my pasion for Costa Rica recipes and our culture.  For those following please remember to send me your photos when you try one of my recipes or post on my Instagram.
