They say, “There’s nothing like mom’s cooking.”
We say, “There’s nothing like Marie’s cooking!”
At Blue Osa we believe that nutritious, wholesome food is not only the foundation for a productive life, but is also essential for a happy one. Food that nourishes our soul not only needs to be healthy, but it also needs to be tasty and delicious! Blue Osa is devoted to serving the freshest ingredients possible that are delivered daily to our kitchen.
Our locally-sourced red snapper and mahi mahi are freshly-caught by neighboring fishermen. Whether it’s pineapple from the Blue Osa property or eggs from the farmers down the road, all produce supports the local economy.
Loving hands knead homemade bread, gardeners gather herbs from the greenhouse, and knowledgeable chefs create a gourmet menu under the guidance of Chef Marie.
“My cooking is simple, uncomplicated, flavourful and at times innovative.
I think that knowing how to eat is the beginning of knowing how to live. To know how to cook is to love to cook. So I encourage you to get playful in your own kitchen.”
Cooking Clean in Costa Rica is a book of the best recipes we have gathered from the Kitchen of Blue Osa and Chef Marie.
