Even beyond food preparation, there must be a recipe. It may not be written or filed in the recipe box. It may simply be the idea in the mind, and the recipe flows from memory. So, along with the ingredients for a food dish, there must be a recipe or the formula for putting it together. One of the most important aspects of a recipe is getting the proper mix. Not putting things together in the right proportions, I know by experience, may cause the recipe to fail. This cookbook comes from my work and the joy of cooking. What could be better? Sharing my cooking recipes and experiences is a way to share life fully. This cookbook is literally a celebration of the joys of eating and the simple pleasures of cooking.
