You can taste the romance of the age of exploration on each page of Explorers Cookbook and Travel Guide, as Yvonne Addario takes us on a culinary voyage through the countries and cities of the Caribbean and South America. A fun and tasty book.
Robert Mykle, Author of Palm Beach Confidential


Like many cooking enthusiasts, I enjoy reading cookbooks the way other people read high suspense mysteries and Explorers Cookbook and Travel Guide fits the bill. It really appeals to my penchant for armchair travel. You are swept away with the trade winds and a taste of salt in the air. Yvonne Addairo has created a celebration of the aromatic, sweet and tart, spicy and mild flavors of the region underscored with the need to understand and appreciate the history behind the food.

Explorers Cookbook and Travel Guide is a cookbook without borders. Illustrated with the most amazing photos, it highlights the people from numerous cultures that made their homes in the region and their recipes. There is also big dose of history featuring swashbucklers, pirates and plenty of exciting local lore.

Whether you are a novice or master chef, you will enjoy the varieties of fresh salsas, the most amazing conch fritters and delicious callaloo. This book is designed to share with family and friends to create wonderful memories as only one can do with food. Enjoy, and as they say in the islands “there are more days than weeks, so don’t rush time”.

This book has a wealth of information for the home entertaining cook, as well as fantastic travel destination descriptions. The pirates of old, left us today with colorful stories to tell and their ports of call are ones you will long to visit. Your recipes look easy, and inviting to create. You’ve done a beautiful job with the large design and layout of this book and I am looking forward to receiving my hard cover copy soon.

Treasure Diving With Captain Dom - Special Archival Section


This is a good layman's account of the equipment and procedures for underwater shipwreck salvage, applicable both to the underwater archaeologist and the treasure hunter, although the latter are a dying breed." 

- Dr. Ray McAllister, Professor Emeritus, Ocean Engineering Florida Atlantic University,  Department of Ocean Engineering Boca Raton, Florida


"I found “Treasure Diving with Captain Dom” to be a very interesting and entertaining book.  The author takes you through some of the history behind the ships and shipwrecks, describes in plain language, vessel types and the kinds of cargos, explains how the wreck hunter performs his research, and the tools he uses to find them. The book is an easy read with large print and lots of photos, including many underwater shots.  This book will be enjoyed by adventurers of all ages!"

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book!, April 20, 2008 Amazon.com

"This book explains the basics of treasure diving through the experience of a modern day pioneer that found treasure off the coast of Florida. His love of the sea and history brought him good fortune, but more importantly, a productive quest for innovative techniques so that others can enjoy treasure hunting. After reading this book, I feel that it is possible for anyone to stumble upon their own little piece of treasure--be it historic, a natural phenomenon, or gold coins. I moved to Florida three years ago, and have grown to love the ocean. I have taken up fishing, boating, sailing, snorkeling, surfing, and now look forward to dive lessons this summer. This is the only book that I have found that explains in easy terms the basics and background for treasure diving. My husband and I are excited to begin exploration. What an inspiration!"

"The thrill of a treasure hunt! I found this book to be an eye-opener to the world of undersea exploration and treasure hunting in Florida waters. Captain Dom and his author wife, Yvonne Addario have written a very informative "how to" treasure dive book. I absolutely enjoyed it.

"The Second Edition of Treasure Diving With Captain Dom - Special Archival Section has more for your money in content. Both first and second edition are well written in easy to understand language. I found both books very informative with beautiful color photos. The glossy stock which is used in the second edition as opposed to the mat finish paper stock used in the first edition are more vivid. The second edition has 4 more pages and is priced more moderately. All and all, the second edition is a better value. Treasure Diving With Captain Dom is a wonderful book for both young and old alike."

This year, diver Yvonne Addario reported recovering over 500 coins from a 1600's shipwreck in Jupiter Florida. In her latest book, she shares the experience in an effort to draw younger undersea explorers to begin the quest for sunken treasure.
