Today's Cooking With Chef Pasquale: Quick and Easy Recipes from Television's Popular Chef

Television's famous singing chef combines the efficiency and variety of a modern North America kitchen with the timeless flair of classic Italian cuisine. This book captures the remarkable personality of Pasquale Carpino, the popular chef who sings tenor arias while preparing wonderful meals.

"When people see my television program, they often ask me why I sing when I am cooking. To me singing a beautiful song and preparing a beautiful recipe are the same. They both give us a chance to find happiness in creativity and to share that joy with others. In music there is an infinity - an endless number of combinations of notes and harmonies which will produce original and lovely melodies. So it is with cooking. The chef is like a composer, creating new recipes and adapting old ones to express the individuality which is found in each of us."
