About this listen
Are you excited about planning your next trip? Do you want an edible experience? Would you like some culinary guidance from a local?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this Eat like a Local book is for you.
Eat like a Local - Portland Jamaica by Monique Oates offers the inside scoop on food, what to eat and the plethora of places to eat when travelling around Portland, Jamaica. This compilation features a brief history of various Jamaican foods, cooking methods, and recipes for you to, as we say in Jamaica, “try your hand” at preparing them.
Culinary tourism is an important aspect of any travel experience. Food has the ability to tell you a story of a destination, its landscapes, and culture on a single plate. Most food guides tell you how to eat like a tourist. Although there is nothing wrong with that, as part of the Eat like a Local series, this book will give you a food guide from someone who has lived at your next culinary destination.
In this book, you will discover advice on having a unique edible experience. This book will not tell you exact addresses or hours but instead will give you excitement and knowledge of food and drinks from a local that you may not find in other travel food guides.
Eat like a local. Slow down, stay in one place, and get to know the food, people, and culture. By the time you finish listening to this audiobook, you will be eager and prepared to travel to your next culinary destination.

This cookbook is the ultimate solution. You don't have to spend hours preparing a delicious meal. Using an instant pot has several advantages. It is healthier than any other cooking method. Instant Pot uses pressure steam for cooking. The tightly closed container also prevents the sliding of nutrients. As the cooking time is shorter, the aroma and nutrients are included in the food. It is easy to use and clean. It is definitely a good investment and a very useful cooking friend.

After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, writer Kathleen Flinn returned with no idea what to do next, until one day at a supermarket she watched a woman loading her cart with ultraprocessed foods.

Story
The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.
