From the back cover:

I am, by training and profession, a journalist. Over the years, as The Dress and I faced the world and the Sons joined us, I chronicled our adventures.  While almost everyone has a spouse and children, few have such a combination as the LBD and the Sons under one roof. Thus, our story.

But we’ve also dug to China, campaigned in the Great Water War and pretty much blew up a waverunner.

About Those Recipes:

Scattered throughout this book you will find a few recipes, enjoyable morsels of the food variety when words won’t suffice.

When I started out as a cub reporter, I barely made enough to pay the rent. Food was a luxury. And so I worked on the weekends at an incredible restaurant specializing in French and Creole cooking.

The Dress says I don’t cook, I create. Recipes are made to be broken.

I think I did pretty well. Some of these won the heart of the Little Black Dress, so I’ve got that going for me. After we were married, we started writing down a few and then put together a small cookbook for friends.

We believe the kitchen is a central part of every home; that cooking together is a perfect way to spend quality time together while creating unforgettable meals and memories. Oh, and to create future master chefs as well.

You will find that great stories – and thus the names – tag along with each recipe, each a celebration of food, family and friends.
