Yours, Mine, & Ours: A Cookbook

Yours, Mine, & Ours, A Cookbook has been written to project the basics in an informative and educational style. Though the cookbook is not only for those just starting out but also for those who seek to have a fuller and broader knowledge base in the kitchen. The variety of information contained within is helpful. The secret or that somewhat obscure information a chef may possess is a secret no more. Yours, Mine, & Ours, A Cookbook has been laid out to aid in a progressive learning pattern and encourages one to experiment with different flavors and tastes of herb's and spices. The recipes within have been tried and truly winners at hotels of which I was employed. The recipes are simple, yet elegant enough for the most finicky houseguest. I, the author, encourage all to take up the challenge of expanding ones taste buds with herb's, spices, teas, or coffees. Start lightly and enjoy the experience.Make it a culinary delight tonight!

R. Bruce Laudermilk graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, New York, September of 1976. He has worked in the service industry at hotels, country clubs, and resorts, throughout the United States. Progressing to the position of Food and Beverage Director. The early years were spent as an apprentice at Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, where he was impressed by Marcel Desaulnier's persistence on having sound knowledge of the basics. What became apparent after working at various properties was the need to return to teaching the basics. This enabled the author to develop good cooks to highly competent chefs. Teaching the basics is still his foundation, which is the reason he wrote this book.
