All for love - Hardback

I can't promise 100% simple meals, but I can promise restaurant worthy. Tantalizing to the eyes and appealing to the palate. From fine dining to delicious mouthwatering burgers, sandwiches and appetizers to feed a crowd.

#1 . . . A well-stocked pantry. #2 . . . A Fridge overflowing with essentials, #3 . . . A freezer fit for a Butcher Boy's flare. #4 . . . Bread from your favorite bakery. #5 . . . A bottle of Vino . . . optional.

Garnishes . . . Fruit on a stick . . . accent/ presentation. Water/wine decanters. Cheese/fruit.

Music to my ears. I cook by Smell and eat with my eyes. I use all five senses when cooking.

Taste . . . Touch . . . Smell/Aroma . . . Sound/Sizzle in the pan/grill . . . Sight . . .

Moonwalks to the Fridge . . . grabbing a bottle of Vino.

Here's hoping your taste buds Spring alive as you delve into these recipes.

Jerry's passion for food lends itself . . . too numerous to mention on one page. So you can imagine our passion for cooking extends beyond creating, plating and taking a presentation up a notch.

Hopefully you'll put your spin on these already amazing recipes.

While meandering through the pages of 'ALL for LOVE' you'll notice many of the backgrounds are in cursive . . . my handwriting from when I did 5 cookbooks for each of my 4 children in 2002/2003.

You'll see a photo now and then of 'Gift Baskets' . . . ingredients and recipe included. A creative 'Party favor' . . . 'Door Prize' . . . a gift for all occasions for the person in your life who has everything.

Buckle up . . . for the next food extravaganza and enjoy the ride.

Inspiration for poems sprinkled throughout the book came to me one-by-one as I put pen to paper when writing my romance novels and memoirs the past several years.
