Excerpts

One Must Live to Cook, Not Cook to Live I dedicate this book to all cooks and culinarians who, due to their passion and love of this craft, have dedicated so much time and effort to their work. I follow the very tough act of my mentor, Chef Frederic H. Sonnenschmidt. He wrote the firstTastes and Tales of a Chefand has taught me much from my start as an apprentice to my status today of Certified Master Chef. I hope you enjoy the tales of fun and, in some cases, learn a valuable lesson as well. In addition to enjoying the reading, I hope you will also cook the recipes and feel the passion for that wonderful thing called food. As a society we have lost the ability to relax and dine to make eating home-cooked meals at the family table a daily requirement instead of a special thing to do. Cooking and the enjoyment of food can and will bring everyone closer together. My family is from Naples, Italy. I was taught a long time ago that in Italy we live to eat, whereas in other countries people eat to live. Good food is life, and life is good food. Chef Edward G. Leonard, CMC
