Simple Recipes

Here are some simple recipes that we have gathered over the years. My husband was a chef in a four star French restaurant and later we owned our own restaurant for 10 years. The great thing about him being a chef is he can simplify most recipes. Recipes do not have to be complicated to look and taste great.

These are not Foo Foo Fancy dishes that take longer to make pretty than to actually cook. These are dishes full of flavor and fresh ingredients that the whole family will enjoy!

You'll find these recipes also work well with no fuss entertaining. Most of these dishes can be prepared in less then half an hour with simple, inexpensive ingredients you can find at most grocery stores. Have fun, put on your Chef's Hat and experiment with these great recipes.

Try showcasing your food by making risers or pedestal plates with dishes and other objects you have around the house. By using this same technique you can make amazing candle holder centerpieces or get creative with buffet ideas by making ice bowls that's both functional and beautiful.
