I Love to cook, so, in the beginning of the book when he talks about inviting his neighbors to his house because he feels it is the best restaurant in town I understood. I too find cooking for friends and family is theraputic and relaxing. This is a great book with great stories, lots of wonderful receipes and pictures. The receipes (and I have tried a lot of them) are easy and delicous. A wonderful one to add to anyones cookbook collection and I guarantee it will not sit on the shelf as so many others do. you will use it frequently...

I have made a few dishes in this cookbook, and totally recommend it. It is fun to read. I have made the carrot cake about six times for special events and everyone raves over it!! I like the pineapple ingredient, much better than the standard raisin! Give yourself time to make this as it does have many steps, but well worth it! Mr. Florence has created fabulous cookbooks, and I have never been disappointed. Every recipe I have tried has such a complexity of flavors that makes you cry out for more.

Tyler (or his ghost-writer) have a way of writing intros and recipes that won't make you feel like you've failed if you don't have the patience to chiffonade the basil.
Great baby section, THANK YOU!

Tyler Florence is one of my favorite food network chefs. I have all of his cookbooks and this one I returned. Most of the recipes lacked originality.

Very easy to read recipes, and with ingredients that are easy to find. None of those ingredients that you have to go to 3 different grocery stores to look for one item and still can't find.
I love how he talks about keeping regular ingredients in your pantry that you will use frequently and even though I don't have kids I loved the fact that he makes his baby his own food, instead of buying it.
Also the mexican recipes he has are very authentic, not many recipe books stick to authentic food. LOVED IT!
