How exciting it is to publish your first cookbook, and while The World On My Plate speaks much of the cooking of my life, it inspired me to show and tell more!
As I have shared my effervescence with many of you through my blog, videos and even television, (three times a Food Network Chef and 8 episodes on PBS), I wanted to share something a little more intimate with you.
Through my first cookbook; something you can hold in your hand and dog-ear pages, you can experience the heart-felt stories I share with you.
Throughout the colorful pages of my cookbook and my life, you will have the opportunity to sit with me at my table.
My First Cookbook
The World On My Plate is a collection of some of my favorite recipes for small-plate dining.
I promise, you will feel as though you are sitting right here in my kitchen and you will be inspired to make certain that from now on; Every Meal Will Tell A Story!
I believe the table... that place that draws people to gather, is the most powerful symbol of togetherness. All that happens before the table is set, the planning, the gathering, the preparing, are all an intricate part of the dance that create the mood of celebration to share with friends and loved ones.
