Book Cover & Preview Text
Food. Such a simple word yet so complex. The right foods will have you excited to cook them, anxious to eat them and result in a combination of beautiful presentation and fabulous taste. People use many different forms to express themselves. For me, that form is food. Creating the recipes in this book has been a way for me to express the love that I feel for my family and the joy that I feel when teaching cooking classes to school children. You will find that the recipes call for ingredients that are familiar and accessible. Many people find comfort in eating foods that are familiar to them and when the food is familiar, the plates empty quickly! Throughout this book we explore the concept that "Cooking is a feast of the senses!" Feasting on the beauty of the food, feasting on the wonderful aromas they produce, feasting on the hum of the mixers and the sizzling in the pans, feasting on the feel of perfectly formed dough rolling under our hands and the best part of all.... Feasting on the delicious results of our efforts. The colorful photos spread throughout the book will entice your senses and tempt you to try your hand at some fun, creative and delicious recipes!
