Over the years I have developed hundreds of recipes for people who love to cook. From The Cuisine of California (1982) to Seriously Simple Holidays (2009), my mission has been clear: to help you create delicious food with fresh ingredients, and to offer recipes that have as much to do with lifestyle as they do with taste. My approach has been to focus on flavor, quality of ingredients and presentation with an emphasis  on simplicity. My recipes reduce the prep time and streamline cooking techniques without sacrificing the quality of the finished dish.

Sophisticated simplicity is my goal. I accomplish this by using the freshest ingredients and drawing from assorted pantry-ready flavor enhancers, pulling it all together with time saving cooking techniques.

So enjoy these recipes and please send me any great finds or recipes you think fit into the Seriously Simple style of cooking. I look forward to seeing them.

Happy Cooking,
