Blow 'Em Away with Gourmet!: A relaxed approach to gourmet cooking

Good food should be simple. Simple food should be impressive. Gourmet food should be easy to achieve. I wrote this book to help take the fear out of gourmet cooking. Truthfully, I don’t even like the word gourmet. It sounds pretentious; something only the skilled can achieve. But good food is meant for everyone to enjoy. Good food gathers crowds. Good food sparks conversation. Good food should be the goal, not gourmet. With that said, we all want to blow ‘em away when we entertain, so this book is filled with recipes that will do just that. The recipes are also perfect for everyday meals. I encourage making these recipes for your family, light a candle or two, and enjoy. That’s what it’s all about, sharing a good meal with the ones you love. Please don’t let the pressure of making an impressive meal shy you away from the thought of entertaining. Let this book help you confidently explore your taste buds and create new experiences.
