I guess some people vote because they have nothing else better to do.
I would like to enter a vote of agreement with this.*
Thanks all for the nice comments. And I agree with Chiri, those who disliked something in the book should let us know what, we'll take their opinion into consideration for when we prepare a next edition.
BTW, I didn't vote.

Ok. This is the comment that made me come here.
for dominican recipes i use minovio's mum.
for polish receipes i use my mum.
who needs books? mums rule!
First, I am not being snarky, and I absolutely respect your opinion, but... really? You only cook Dominican and Polish?
I find my collection of cookbooks to be one of my most precious possessions. Specially those about foreign cuisine. You see, sometimes I love me some Thai, or say, Greek food, and the lack of discernible living foreign ancestry is a bitch.
And although our book only covers a minute selection of Dominican cooking there are recipes that cannot possibly be known to every Dominican. I am always finding things that reminds me how little I know about the subject. I refuse to stick to the basics.
Don't mistake me, moms are great! Mine (and my real aunts and some friends) have been credited throughout the book for their contributions, but my mom tend to be not very portable.
