Aspiring home cooks will learn from Michael’s professional cooking secrets. Experienced home cooks will appreciate his open, creative approach. Everyone will love the book’s simple, healthy flavours.

This cookbook is full of spontaneity and creativity. Each recipe in Chef at Home is a starting point to a culinary adventure for the reader that includes tips on how to personalize each dish.
