Costa Rican Recipes

Want a little bit of Costa Rican flavor every now and then? We’ve got a few recipes for you to try out! My Costa Rican friends have graciously lent me their kitchen so I can photograph and videotape them making some of the best Costa Rican dishes. So whenever you feel like adding a bit of pura vida to your home cooking, check these out!

Also, if you want even MORE easy and delicious Costa Rican recipes, our Costa Rican friend Melissa, a chef from Jaco put together a beautiful recipe book with photos and easy to follow directions.
