Customer Reviews

He made tropicals fruits and vegetables easy to use.

I pick up the book not to buy it, after reading alittle of it and seeing the photo's; I knew it was not leaving my hands. The recipes are easy and they are simple to follow. I have seen these tropicals fruits and vegetables in my supermarket, now I know what what there used for. The result and comments from my family and friends were "how did you do that". We need more of Chef Tony Merola cooking.

This book made me famous, won an award for the Mango Salsa.

I prepared this recipe for a group of executives from a major restaurant chain in Chicago, Ill. They wanted this Salsa on their menus as soon as possible. I had to tell them the truth, that I copied the recipe from Tony Merola's "Floribean Flavors". Recently I had the good fortune of meeting Chef Tony at one of his seminars, in Edison, New Jersey. What a treat!! and I asked Chef Tony for permission to use his recipe for this restaurant group. What a cool guy, He said yes!!! Everyone is satisfied, A special thanks to Chef Tony. In addition, the cookbook excedes your expectations, in terms of photography, and the ease of preparing the recipes.
