Book Overview

The Kitchen Flowers serves as the ideal kitchen companion when cooking. This beautiful volume is my first book to provide information about pasta, cooking oils and cooking tools. There are many other delights in the book. The unexpected recipe notes and wine parings that make a fun presence in the kitchen. These recipes are everything from Mediterranean pasta to Mexican pasta. While most of them are breezy and ideal for a Tuesday some are meant to cook on the rack beneath a main dish so they get done simultaneously. They can be a go to source for those looking for authentic Italian cooking.

A dish doesn’t need to require a lot of pans and tools to be downright delicious. Prepare them as is or change them and substitute lighter ingredients to suit your own taste or dietary needs.

About the Author

Debbie Brethold

For me, cooking is about family, community and tradition. I was born and raised in Saint Louis, Missouri. I absolutely love cooking. What I love most about cooking is the ability to be creative. It allows me to experiment with different cuisines and techniques. It also gives me the opportunity to learn about different cultures which are fascinating. I truly believe that anyone can cook and it can be fun and needed especially in the times we are in now. Being able to look in your pantry and create something out of what you have is just an incredibly satisfying feeling.

I believe that delicious, healthy food not be complicated nor take hours to cook. I believe in the power of keeping things simple. When you are cooking you get to choose the quality of the ingredients. The more you learn about nutrition the more you come to realize that the most important factor for healthy eating is to avoid processed food and focus on using real ingredients. Hearing words this is amazing is a huge motivator to keep spending time in the kitchen when you are learning to cook. Learning how to cook is the way to save money. You save by buying fresh foods in season or in large supply when they are fresh and usually best and by preparing them from scratch at home. Why pay for someone else’s work when you know how to do it and can save money for yourself. Cooking well doesn’t take a great deal of time and when you cook you’ll be eating far better meals than you can by buying from a freezer or at a restaurant.
