Omschrijving
In "FAVORITE: Recipes to Inspire the Home Chef" cookbook, Chef Nanette Smalley of the noted ‘La Querencia’ restaurant in which she was the chef/owner, expresses her love and affinity for food, nutrition and cooking.
Nanette had only one focus when creating the recipes to include in this cookbook. That the recipes included are accurate and concise in which every cook, no matter the level of knowledge and or experience would 'all' reach the desired and delicious end result.
With the assistance of the professional organizations that support her passions: The National Association of Female Executives, The Roundtable for Women in the Food Business, and The James Beard Association she is well versed, seasoned and a trusted Chef.
"I've accumulated a wealth of experience in preparing menus from aggressively simple to extravagantly gourmet. As well as knowledge of all major international cuisines. There are so many recipes out in the World, especially since we have online access. It can be very confusing to know the great recipes from the mediocre. I love my Cookbooks and enjoy searching for a recipe that I’m in the mood to create. It’s all relevant to me: the beautiful pictures, and the information about the chef and or restaurant not to mention the tactile feel of the cookbook. I often research various cookbooks and borrow a little something from all of them to come up with my version of the recipe. In my personal experience that many of the online recipes don’t work and it appears many websites have similar issues of reposting the flawed recipe. When I moved from New York to California to be closer to my mom I had over 500 pounds of cookbooks and four files of recipes I saved since I was 13 years old. Many of the old recipes are gems and need to be saved for now and future generations of cooks, and chefs. I’ve spent hundreds of hours going through my treasure trove of recipes to perfect it. The recipes I am sharing with you in 'Favorite: Recipes to Inspire the Home Chef' cookbook are accurate and if you follow my instructions will be pleased with the outcome of the special dishes you have prepared. This book consists of the ‘best of the best’ of hundreds of recipes in my possession. I have worked professionally as a Chef for decades and you have my word that this book will save you time and frustration."
Chef Nanette Smalley's family had the good fortune of living with an organic garden in the backyard and enjoying the availability of flavorful produce from local farmers, and fresh fish were abundant at the local pier in her hometown on the California coast. Her earliest culinary experiments found her substituting a cornucopia of healthy foods into classical French recipes, which led to developing her own California Classical French cuisine. This led to her opening the restaurant, ‘La Querencia’. The National Association of Female Executives, The Roundtable for Women in the Food Business, and The James Beard Association were all in support of her cooking efforts.
