Nephew, You Got the Kitchen Stankin

Ok, so you never liked onions, but you need them for fl avor. Maybe

you’re not a big Jesus fan either, but, yeah, you’ll need Him too. For the

record, this book is not at all about Jesus or onions, but it has everything

to do with moments in time that inspired me to cook the way I do. I

hope you enjoy the real-life true stories accompanied with many of the

recipes many friends and family have enjoyed over the years.

Personally, I don’t know how many times I’ve been invited to cook a

meal at somebody’s house and they didn’t have an onion somewhere. If

you’re not an “onion” lover, you’ll need to add this little buddy in the

future to your grocery list, I assure you.

Nevertheless, fi nd a cozy nook, ladies and gentlemen, and settle down as

you read in the pages ahead to the little abstractions that make enjoying

food that much better. Then after perusing said obscenities, try a recipe

for yourself. The stories behind each motivated me to cook that way

and for some reason, it just tastes so good!

But this is not the end, my friends and fans. The 1st Book of “Stankin’”

is just a chapter with more to follow in my second book complete

with more stories and recipes that explore beef, lamb , pork, breakfast,

brunch and vegetables! But for now, always think of the aromas and

colors of your childhood and there begins the art of cooking with soul

and love. See you in Book 2!
