Flavorful Recipe Collection

I'm a cookbook addict, so one of favorites is to go to bookstore and browse through new stack. Found this one fascinating, due to breadth of recipe collection, which author states up front is collected from his family, friends, and his restaurant career. Thus, we find old reliables, and new creative ones as well. Lots of something here for everyone. So depending on your target eaters and the time and ingredient limits, one can find wide range of culinary delights here for every occasion and chef abilities. I was particularly attracted to this due to offerings such as: Corn bread, Bacon and Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes; Jalepono Seafood Dip; Spinach, Mushroom and Goat Cheese Ravioli; Pistachio-Crusted Halibut with Lemon-Chardonnay Sauce; Cauliflower, White Rose Potato and Crab Bisque with Truffle Oil; Sweet Potato Mousse. Nice color shots of select recipes! I also appreciate his revealing of his career path and faith commitment as well. Well done, G. Garvin, I'll be looking for your next output.

Turn Up the Heat with G. Garvin

I purchased two... The recipes are delicious, not complex to follow nor overly time consuming to prepare. Thanks Garvin for your creativity and making the process fun!! Blessings, Pamela

This man CAN COOK!!!!!

OH MY GOD!!! I bought this book for my sister because she loves to cook and for the fact that we met G. Garvin at the 2006 Gospel MegaFest. Well, when my sister made some of the recipes from this book, I fell in love. Especially the pound cake, OH MY GOD!!! I told my sister to never never, ever, ever, never never make this pound cake again, or else I'm gonna gain so much weight. Please take my word for it, the man can cook his behind off and it doesn't hurt that he's FINE AS HELL!!! LOL.
