Think of the Florida Keys and think of a food paradise: fresh from the sea stone crabs, yelowtail snapper, and sweet shrimp; fresh from the dooryard garden key limes, mangoes, avocados, and papayas.  Toss in the influence of a variety of ethnic food traditions- from Afro-Carribbean and Cuban to Spanish, Asian, British, German, and Italian-and the result is a diverse and vibrant culinary scene.  The cooks of the Florida Keys have been transforming local ingredients into memorable meals for generations, and now so can you.

The Florida Keys Cookbook is a fascinating combination of food history, local lore, and mouthwatering recipes from restaurant chefs and home cooks.  With more than 175 recipes, fun archival photographs, and lots of engaging anecdotes, this cookbook lets you capture a taste of the Keys and celebrate its flavors in your own kitchen.
