As a professional basketball player, I had the privilege of traveling to different countries and learned how to prepare their authentic cuisine. I enjoy cooking and it is simply another extension of what I view as being artistically inclined. I learned how to prepare authentic dishes that were taught to me by my mother and mother in law, my wife, my teammates wives, their mothers and grandmothers and team sponsors that either owned restaurants or knew chefs that worked in a restaurant and were willing to teach me their methods. They taught me their dishes in its' simplest forms and in most cases, I infused my personality in them as well to make them my own family recipes from top to bottom. I hope you enjoy them because I certainly enjoyed eating them as much as I have enjoyed creating them. From my court...to your kitchen! Enjoy
