Ever wonder how to cook the local foods in Costa Rica without breaking your bank account? If so this bestseller "Cut The Crap Kitchen: How-To Cook On A Budget In Costa Rica" is for you. It teaches readers about local produce, provides cost-effective recipes, and includes health benefits of eating whole foods.


How To Cook In Costa Rica


How the heck do you cook in this country? If you're struggling, you are not alone! We found the answers. "Cut The Crap Kitchen: How-To Cook On A Budget" was a #1 New Release on Amazon. It teaches readers about local produce, provides cost-effective recipes, and includes health benefits of eating whole foods.


This was the problem from the time we landed. As I stood at the store converting colónes to dollars, I quickly became overwhelmed after looking at a small jar of peanut butter and realizing it was going to cost me $6.24. I turned around and looked at the bag of Doritos that I was going to put with the PB&J sandwiches, and it took everything not to cry in the middle of the store. My conversion calculator displayed the price of the 7oz bag to be $4.13. I quickly realized that I was going to go broke, just trying to feed my family.


High Prices

That feeling did not stop as I made my way through the rest of the store, converting the price on the foods. From strange fruit to extremely high prices on the food we were accustomed to in the US, Cooking in Costa Rica was going to prove to be a challenge. That night I sat down with my husband Steve talking about what we were going to do. We reminded each other that this was an adventure, and it was going to take some work to figure it out, but the Page family was up to the challenge.


You are not alone!

If you're struggling, you are not alone! We had a huge outpouring from people having the same problems. But there is hope. Cut The Crap has once again come to the rescue. We have taken what we learned and put it into another International Bestselling book. Hitting Amazon #1 Hot New Release, "Cut The Crap Kitchen" is here to help you.


Learn how to cook in Costa Rica

We set out to learn how to cook in Costa Rica, and we worked with the locals to learn how they cooked cheap. Since our goal was to get healthier while living in Costa Rica, we worked with the local doctors to learn how to cook healthy.

What we learned through this process was life-changing! Not only did we find ways to cook cheap, but we also found that changing the way we were eating, and cooking had tremendous effects on our physical lives as well. In addition to the whole family losing weight, our cholesterol and blood pressure went down, and our energy level improved.

  • What is that?
  • What does it taste like?
  • How do I eat it?
