Customer Reviews

Best Book of Tyler's Yet
I have purchased, or read at the library, every book Tyler Florence has put together, but this one is the best work he has done! The book is an easy read, none of the recipes are complicated - I think Tyler gets out of hand some times with his ingredients and processes - but this book is excellent. I especially like the more friendly approach to the book and he lets what I suspect is his good-natured personality come through. It's a good book, buy it.

"The Invitationalist"
Like the first review of this book I could'nt agree more.. Tyler has come along way if you have followed this kid from S.C.

He has remarried with two new beautiful children, along with his first son Miles, Tyler is forging the "common mans dream".. It's all about passion, which Tyler has plenty of, and not far behind he has no fear.. Aligning himself with solid people along his path in the business, it has given him the ability to be himself, unlike alot of celeb-chefs.. You can always tell a genuine person when they let you into their personal lives.. If you ever notice in all of his books everyone is always smiling, including the dog!! If your looking to add some great books to your collection you can start with any from the Tyler Florence library.. The newest additions Dinner at My Place, and Stirring The Pot, are terrific to buy together, and compliment each other well.. It's not all recipes, there are techiques and an approach that guides the home cook as well as teaches!! A collection of books that shares its food, photos, and stories.. And best of all if you let it, will build confidence in the minds of people who have the same passion for food!!... What more could a Chef/Author want than his readers to be successful... Keep Stirring The Pot...
