Charles Varney

Recipes from That Florida Patio Daddy-o Charles Varney

When you have a family that consists of one half Italian, one half French, one half German, one half Heinz 57 and three-fourths of them are about two thirds crazy, you better be ready to cook not only a lot, but a whole lot good. This book is for those connoisseurs including family, friends and strangers, who are strangers only once, who like their food to have character. Spice with an over abundance of heat does nothing but burn the tongue. From Canada to Hawaii and from Seattle to Key West, when I break out the pots and pans wonderful things happen for family and friends through their olfactory and taste buds. I hope the same results happen for you. If not, just remember it was my mom's fault for teaching me to how to cook and write!
