Going to the Isle of Pines? Can you help me?

[taffy62]

I just returned from my P&O holiday.

During a visit to the Isle of Pines, one of the first market stalls you pass had a cook book for $30 on all the island type recipes.

I was going to buy it on my way back to the ship but forgot:(

I was wondering if anyone see's it on their trip can you let me know the title of the book please as I was thinking I may be able to find it on the net.

Hope you can help Thanks in advance :)

I'll be on the isle of Pines in a couple of weeks. I'll try very very hard to remember to have a look :)

[Tomo72]

Im there is about 4 weeks.

 

I will also try very hard to remember.

[taffy62]

Thanks for that :) I know its a long shot I cant even remember the title :( May have been holiday or island something and I only saw the one copy so don't know if they may have had some more somewhere. The stall was facing you as you came off the jetty.

[Ruggaholic]

We are there next week I will have a look for you.

[taffy62]

Hi did anyone have any luck finding this recipe book and can remember the name of it?

[ThenDrinkItAllUp]

I'll be there November 27. I can buy you one if you like?

We were there last week but I don't recall seeing any cook books at any of the stalls. There were only 4 market stalls there when we were there.

I think it depends on the weather. Our last cruise there were more than usual, however nowhere near the number the other island have.

Oh that is so nice of you :) I cant even think of what it was called to help you only that I flicked through it and there was recipes of what they cook on the islands similar to Thai cooking using coconut milk chicken and seafood :)

No problem, if I see something like that I'll get it and let you know :)

[taffy62]

Oh Thank you so much :) What cruise ship are you going on? Have a great time! I'm sure you will. The Natuaral aquarium is beautiful at the Isle of Pines or even just relaxing at the bay where the ship docks... Drinking coconut water straight from the coconut is awesome as well :)

Pretty sure I saw this book at the market on top of the Noumea port side shops last week. Thought it was odd that they were selling a book, actually several, that weren't in English when they would have known what ship was there.

 

Maybe someone could look there as well for you.

[jennyau]

I'm going in February if you don't have it by then I'll try and find a copy and then post it to you. By the sounds of it it is in French...would that be correct?

The book however is called Easy Cuisine New Caledonia.

 

The ISBN is 2-908186-36-9

 

The number under the ISBN barcode is 3700051802345.

 

Sorry we couldnt pick it up for you but I hope this helps.

Oh thank you all you kind people many thanks Tomo72

I have googled everything and cant come up with the book so it looks like the only place to get it is the Isle of Pines.

Thank you Jennyau also, lucky you going in Feb. We went last Feb it was beautiful the sea and air temp was 26 degrees!

We also went back in Aug. I love the Isle of Pines.

Hoping Santa may bring me a very nice present and that we may go back next year too.

I wish everyone a lovely Christmas and hope 2014 will be a great year for all :)
