Reviews

"The book is well structured, includes ready-made menus for various occasions, and is generously illustrated, with many photos of Tomaszeski and his inspiring dishes. Recipes are easy to follow, highlight dishes that can be prepared ahead of time, and include suggestions for variations with additional ingredients or substitutions. Tomaszeski reminds readers that the moment of serving a dish and sharing food with guests is more important than a broken plate, misread recipe, or any number of goofs made along the way. Hes good company in the kitchen indeed." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Taking time out to cook a delicious meal is never a waste. These simple and hearty recipes give new meaning to comfort food.
