I've written a Cookbook called
THE REALLY GOOD FOOD COOK BOOK available at Barnes & Noble.com, Amazon.com and on all other Internet book sites for $14.59.
I love cookbooks, like mine, which have lots of information about food and life. Thus M.F.K. Fisher is one of my favorite cook book authors.
But my abiding passion is GOOD FOOD, REALLY GOOD FOOD.
