My Journey of Cooking Ron Duprat

Every page of my first edition cook book is designed with you, the cook of 20's in mind. All of the recipes, meal-planning hints, and cooking tips have been updated to fit the hurried life you lead. Whether you are a pro in the kitchen or just starting out, you'll find everything you need from Chicken Fajita Salad, to Beef Burgundy Mushroom Soup, to Red Snapper Canton to serve delicious meals. Indeed cooking styles have changed! I set out to make this Cookbook the most helpful, up-to-date source of recipes and food information available today. It's contents were chosen to mirror the many changes in how you, the nation's cooks, prepare food-from quick meals for a busy family to the increasing use of exotic flavors and foods from around the world. So many have never been exposed to cooking, they imagine it to be more difficult and intimidating than it really is. What I hope to do is to lure you into the kitchen and show you how easy it is to make a simple meal-and how exciting the results can be. It's contagious. The more you accomplish, the more you'll want to do. Right away you'll instinctively realize that part of the pleasure is in pleasing others. I hope taking a glance at these recipes in my first edition cookbook will be enticing to persuade you to go into your own kitchen and enjoy the satisfaction of preparing a simple, good meal that you can take the time to savor at your own table.
