Treasures of the Tropics

About the Book

Many families pass along heirlooms to the next generation of family members. In a similar manner, it is my passion to pass along our treasures of the tropics to the current generation. With rapid technological advancement in many areas of our lives, some things naturally get left behind. This is my attempt to keep alive this wonderful treasure of fruits that may be found only in the tropics. In the book, I have compiled a thin slice of a variety of tropical fruits. I have also included recipes and drinks that are possible with tropical fruits. There are many other fruits and recipes that could be added, but this is only an appetizer of the range and variety of a vast array of treasures of the tropics. Enjoy.
