I have been preparing Tropical exotic dishes for my family, friends and co-workers for many years. Through their referrals, I have had the privilege of catering for some of Miami and Miami Beache's movers and shakers. For years, my husband and I have poured our hearts into our successful neighborhood Restaurant and catering, specializing in local, national and international cuisene. It is from the urging of family, friends, customers and many requests for my recipes, that I have decided to write this cookbook. My recipes emphasize the exotic and delicious Tropical and international fruits, vegetables and spices that give our dishes their unparallel taste and sensuality. I hope these meals, created with my recipes, will enhance your taste buds beyond your expectations Dorette
