b'A Note from the ChefIn the last 10 years, my job has taken me on many travels. Ive been fortunate to be able to sample the many diverse cuisines in this country and abroad. But, there has always been one very common denominator: Theres no place like home! Hands down, room service cannot compare to a home-cooked meal, and being slightly impatient, waiting an hour or more for a dinner reservation at the end of a long day is not my cup of tea. What I enjoy most in life is cooking for my family and friends. In this book, I want to share with you the ease of preparing a wonderful restaurant-style meal in your own home. Whether its a fine prime rib dinner with all the fixings or a scrumptious pasta dish, these recipes are simple, quick and deliciousand definite crowd-pleasers.Let me help you turn your home into your favorite restaurant!'
