"The only rule in my kitchen is that there are no rules! So often we get into the frame of mind that there is only one way to make something and you have to follow the recipe. Remove that idea from your head immediately. The most fun that I have in the kitchen is when I begin dabbling with new or different ingredients and say."What if???? You will not find much salt in any of these recipes; I got away from it years ago. The only place I require salt these days is on the rim of my Margarita and in the process I re-discovered the real taste of foods. Feel free to add it if you'd like, though! I encourage you to take these recipes and get creative yourselves! I hope that they inspire you to enjoy entertaining while sharing good food and good times with good friends. A few years back, on of the bakers, who supplied my family's market with his delicious line of home-baked products, was engaged in conversation with a customer as he was filling his display shelves. She was asking why his sourdough bread didn't taste like the bread she had in San Francisco. He asked her if she got it at the pier at Fisherman's Wharf. "Yeah", she replied. "And did you happen to see a spectacular sunset gazing across the bay at the Golden Gate Bridge? She smiled, half daydreaming, remembering her wonderful vacation, but suddenly came back to consciousness and said "Yeah." He looked her in the eye and grumbled, "And my bread doesn't do that for you?" So often it's the setting, the mood, and the location that makes the very best dining experiences. I just love eating great food in beautiful places. Therefore, more than just great recipes, I would like to share with you some of my favorite dining and cocktail experiences highlighted throughout this book." - from the Introduction by the author.
