View Full Version : Other More Ketchup Than Salsa
More Ketchup than Salsa by Joe Cawley
Just finished this fab book on my Kindle.
The story is based on a British couple who up-sticks from the UK to open a bar in Tenerife. Its full of laughs and a little sadness at times.
Its a definate laugh out loud book and really hard to put down.:laugh::laugh:
Being a regular visitor to Tenerife over the years I can relate to some of the places referred to in the book and I would say that to those of you who have moved to Tenerife you will find this funny too.
I understand that Joe still lives in Tenerife.
I sincerely hope he's still writing cos I can't wait for his next one.
A DEFINATE MUST READ BOOK :jump2:

Read it last week whilst laying on the beach in Tenerife! made me laugh out loud.
Someone gave me this book last week, really great read, couldn't put it down and would recommend it to anyone :)
Thanks for all the kind comments... and glad to hear it's being enjoyed! Rest assured, I'm working on the follow-up! Would be mighty chuffed if you could also leave a review on Amazon UK (- http://www.amazon.co.uk/More-Ketchup-than-Salsa-ebook/dp/B004VFP47E/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1333463563&sr=1-1)

Perhaps it's time to get yourself a kindle, I downloaded this book from Amazon. No more loose pages!
Afraid it's not available in print version any more. If you don't have a Kindle, you can also read it on your pc, laptop, ipad or smartphone by downloading it from Smashwords.
I'm off to download to my Kindle right now! How can I miss out on this!!!!! Thanks all!:thanx:

For those without a 'kindle' etc or those who prefer an actual book, I purchased a second hand copy via amazon..just before Christmas. It was a good price and in excellent condition.

Great book, great guy joe

maybe we should start a campaign to get a reprint done ... bombard Joe's website with requests lol. I read my friend's copy which is signed by Joe so she obviously very rarely lends it out.
I have a copy that is currently on loan to my brother, am happy to send it out when he has finished to anyone who wants it in England or I will be in Tenerife in may.
All will be revealed in the next book! A LOT happened since More Ketchup than Salsa! Lots more laughter... and even more tears.

Well - based on the reviews, I just ordered it to read on the Kindle app on my iPad!
Managed to track down a copy in bookswap in Puerto Colon. Great book, definitely not for sale.
Fun read and I caught up with Joe Cawley on Twitter the other day and he said he's in the process of writing a follow-up - Cant Wait!
Sorry hadn't read the whole thread, cant wait fr the next book!
All will be revealed in the next book! A LOT happened since More Ketchup than Salsa! Lots more laughter... and even more tears.
Please please, post on here when the new book is ready............thanks for the first book too, as others have said a great read!
As well as a film, what about a series like 'Benidorm'......anyone know any TV producers????
We could start a thread as to which actors would be best for each part!!!!
Hi fesdie,I would like to read this book and if already not gone can you let me know and I will give you my address and let me know how much,regards,
Mully
I'll chase up my brother and get back to you.

Just bought from iTunes for 1.99. Haven't read a book on my iPad yet but seems like a good idea.
Joe, this site seems better to get people to order a copy than a review on Amazon! haha doing well. And yes, am reading it as well on my Kobo e-reader, love it only complaint is it's too short..... hahaha hurry up with the follow up!!

Please hurry up with the next installments
Working in Chio every morning getting the second installment finished. Hoping it'll be published in June. In the meantime, it would be great if you could keep adding reviews here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/More-Ketchup-than-Salsa-ebook/dp/B004VFP47E/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1334063845&sr=1-1).

Just finished reading this book last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, but felt it was too short with too many unanswered questions - loved the bit about poisoning themselves and their customers and about evicting the prostitute!
Looking forward to the next book.

Great Joe can't wait. Come over to Tenerife in August as usual, I'm justwondering if the next one is out in June, will I be able to resist reading it until August? mmmm difficult one to answer I think.
I think you ought to do a book signing (pref in August :eyebrows:) and can I be at the front of the queue please?
Put the review on Amazon I hope many more people get to read it
Thanks for the review Debi. Will look into the book signing... not a bad idea!

Must have a bit of misinformation there. Maybe you should stick to Qur'an for light reading? My daughter just bought a copy from Ebay for 1pound. I have my original which has been back and forward to UK several times..relevant to a lot of people..just on its way back so best get it signed this time..seriously cannot wait for the next one. Thanks for a great read.

Think i may be able to help you with that one..lots of Candidates for Madge..my friend and i are thinking of a double Scooter..would need a reliable mechanic obviously..and i think we all know a Joyce Temple Savage ..:wink2:
And I've seen loads of Mateo's around Tenerife over the years.:laugh:
Having been away in the U.K. for a week or so, and on re-logging onto this Forum again I am getting a message saying I haven't posted for a while, so I though I would reply to this one.
I read the book in question some years ago and quite enjoyed it, but more recently have been reading another Tenerife based author by the name of Tony Thorne MBE - whose has many stories based upon Tenerife itself, and he is a user of this Forum.
Whilst on the subject of Publishing, I may as well blow my own trumpet by stating that I am about to release my own book which also features Tenerife in it's final chapters and will be titled "Highway to the Sun".
You will find it soon on Amazon, initially in paperback form, but maybe later in Kindle format.
I wonder just how many British authors who live on Tenerife there are in total, and what is there subject matter? - Fact, Fiction, or something else.
I wonder just how many British authors who live on Tenerife there are in total, and what is there subject matter? - Fact, Fiction, or something else.
I know of at least five British authors living in Tenerife - a mixture of fiction and non-fiction.
Good to get Tenerife in the publishing world.
I guess as with all authors we're all happy to see our books do well so good luck with yours.
Got my eye on that elusive number one spot on Amazon UK. More Ketchup than Salsa is doing well, but still a ways to go!

I would think that almost certainly you would be able to. Everywhere you look people are using kindles or similar devices that can read ebooks. I have been advised to make my forthcoming book available as an ebook as well as a paperback version. Seems the way forward in the publishing world.

Got my eye on that #1 spot in Humour, but to got to nudge our Karl Pilkington and Ricky Gervais on my way. No easy feat! Perhaps with the help of the forum members I can do that! How cool would that be to have a book based in Tenerife beating all global travel books on Kindle UK!!
If anybody's got a blog or website, grab an affiliate code from Amazon and make a bit of money yourself, while helping Tenerife (and me) get to number one.

Well done Joe hope you get top

Have just got this book from the library, once I have read it will leave a review at Amazon. Can't wait to start reading it but have to finish Mo Hyders Birdman first .

I have also read this book and as a very regular visitor to tenerife found it interesting, Just looked at the joe cawley link and it looks like he may be in talks to make a tv programme about the book 'more ketchup than salsa'

I could possibly swap it for a homeless cat Cat woman! Ha, ha. I actually have a copy of this book but it's in storage and I have so many friends who are waiting for me to dig it out, but that's a job for a cloudy day which is bound to be Saturday and/or Sunday on my days off! I do have a homeless cat I have been feeding for a week and will be taking it up to the vets to see if it's chipped. If it isn't do you have any ideas as to where I could take it? Would love to keep it but I can't as I'm living in a friends rented accommodation and I can't risk damage to furnishings. It's living on the ground floor terrace at the moment but I'll be moving in the next month or so and I need to get it sorted. It's a lovely cat - Siamese and very friendly but the poor thing looks a bit bedraggled and skinny. It's eating cat food by the ton so I suspect it has worms although I'm pleased to say that I haven't seen any. Sorry to go off the topic a bit.

it would be great if you could keep adding reviews here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/More-Ketchup-than-Salsa-ebook/dp/B004VFP47E/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1334063845&sr=1-1)
Just left a review, I enjoyed it very much. But who is Rachel?

Thanks Nigel. Reviews on Amazon greatly appreciated. Afraid 'Rachel' was a slip-up. Don't know why, but that name slipped in when it should have said 'Faith'. It's been changed in the third edition but slipped through many a sub-edit and proofread from the publishers (and me).

Don't worry, I knew "Rachel" was meant to be "Faith", I was winding you up. I'm a proof-reader in my spare time, but I can't switch it off!

Damn. Don't suppose there's any chance you could sign my Kindle?
I thought the book was fantastic. Proper motivation for booking a winter holiday in the sun.
I don't buy many books on my Kindle - this was one I did fork out for. I went on about it so much my girlfriend went to the library and is reading it now. (Not sure what royalties the author gets from library lendings?)

One question for Joe. You mention tenderising chicken breasts twice in the book, I think.
After 20 years owning a restaurant, we never once did that.

We're next in Tenerife in Jan 2013 and were planning to take a walk up to El Beril as we've both read and enjoyed the book.
What can we expect to find there now?
Just to put pictures to the words will make it worth while.
El Beril itself hasn't changed that much, though the Smugglers Tavern has changed almost beyond recognition. It's now called Taverna Lorenzo's and is swamped either side by inflatable crocodiles and other supermarket paraphernalia. There is a little bar above it called Smugglers, using the same kind of chalkboards that we used, but that's nothing to do with the Smugglers in the book. In fact, the original Bar Arancha that was there is featured in the sequel.
Hope that helps paint the picture a bit more for you.
As my original post says I first read this book end March/April.
I'm now 2 weeks away from my holiday in Tenerife so I think it may be time to start reading it again. I never read books twice but I am making an exception with this as it's such a fab book it will help me 'get in the holiday mood' :jumping:

Does anyone know where I can find a Ebub version of the book. I am dying to read it!

Hi Tracey, should be available for the Sony Reader in a month or so via Smashwords. You could always buy the 'old-school' paperback version via Amazon.es (http://www.amazon.es/More-Ketchup-than-Salsa-Confessions/dp/095724990X/ref=tmm_pap_title_0) or I can send you a signed copy for €10 plus postage.
