 Fine Haitain Cuisine Review Jan 11, 2007
By Altagrace Simon
"Altagrace Simon"
When I received and read this book, I was jumping for joy. I feel this book is a great representation of haitian cuisine. I am also Haitian and feel that Mona Menager did a great job! She was not selfish and revealed recipes that are usually discussed among family members. I was very surprised and wanted to personally thank her for stepping up to the plate.
This books gives clear and detailed explanations on how to prepare different dishes. I have other haitian cookbooks but this book is top of the line. I give this book a perfect 10!
Mona, if you are reading this review. I want to personally thank you for taking the time and energy to creating a work of art. I hope you will continue your research in Haitian cuisine and perhaps creating other cookbooks entitled "Fine Haitian Cuisine Part II and III." I will be the first to buy them.

 LOVE IT Jan 31, 2008
By Jeanick C. Howard
I love this book so much, that I bought one for my sister and one for my best friend. I though I knew how to cook haitian food but I was wrong. My first dish was the rice and beans and it was wonderful. I tasted just like the ones I used to have back home. The only haitian cookbook you need.

 too expensive Sep 27, 2007
By Gwendolyn G. Wellington
THIS BOOK IS BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED BUT THE EXACT SAME RECIPES CAN BE FOUND IN A TASTE OF HAITI FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST.

nice book but to pricey Dec 14, 2007
By haiti1985
this is book was a fine example for haitian cooking there were pictures of the food being presented for some of the meals being prepared so that you can get a hint on how the dish should look like.its in detail about whats to be done next. the only thing i didnt like about it was the price i gotta admit the price is above the average cookbook.but in the end its well worth the dollars spent.

How you like me now!!! May 06, 2009
By linda
I was born in Haiti, but rasied in the US. I married a true born and raised Haitian from Port au Prince. On that note, its truly a big task trying to delight my husband's taste buds.
After trying two other haitian book (Mountain Maid & Taste of Haiti), I find this book to be the best so far. The first dish that I'd served to my husband was "Poisson Gwo Sel",it tasted better then his mother's!:) To add more icing to the cake, he'd asked for seconds!!!!
Pros: Clear/clean instructions, color pictures, a different outlook of preparing/cooking and unfamiliar/different recipes
Cons: Book is heavy, the size and pages tear out easly
Suggests: Divide the book in two or smaller print,soft cover instead of hard, pictures of individual dish, laminate pages, spiral binding and option of book on video.
I highly reconmend the this book. Do not let the cost of the book be your deciding factor. By making this minor investment,it you come back to you in 100 folds. You will not be disappointed.
