My cook books are virtual European restaurants on paper! Turkish delights, Spanish specialties, Belgium delicacies, simple Italian creations, delicious Japanese bites and please don't get me started on all of the southern cuisine that my mom, dad, wife and mother in law taught me! Wow, I just had a moment!
You will undoubtedly be the envy of the family come dinner time! It's almost a sin to enjoy cooking and enjoy eating as much as I do.
This is the 5th cook book for me, which I released in March 2009. My spices were created because of my desire for flavoring foods with simple ingredients. I graduated from DePaul University in Chicago. Need I say how wonderful Chicago is to entice your palate to dance to the beat of its own drum by daring to venture to the restaurants in the city? After graduating from DePaul, I played professional basketball in Europe for 13 years and what better way to learn how to mix and match flavors, while creating succulent meals!

Please, for the love of all that is holy and sacred, take your time and enjoy your meal, enjoy your family and friends and enjoy how food can enhance your dining experience! There is nothing like slowly eating a home cooked meal and allowing your palate to be bathed in the wonderful flavors, but only after your nose has gone into overdrive! Did I mention to you that I really, really enjoy food!
"From the Court to the Kitchen" is a new brand created by me. I actually have my wife and/or neighbor/partner in crime to thank for the title. They both said that they gave me the idea, but I can't remember who actually said it first! We were talking about cook book titles and simply trying to develop a name. My first choice was, "Big Daddy's Easy Cook Book" (This was 2 years before the current cooking show 'Big Daddy's House') and "From My Kitchen To Yours". I kept going back to, "From My Kitchen To Yours!" As many of you know, Paula Deene is one of my favorite self made chefs and the name of the cook book was a tribute to her. I couldn't really use that name because of a possible lawsuit. Well, that was Paula's catch phrase and I'm sure that she wouldn't have been too pleased about that. I ran off about 20 different names and then all of a sudden, "From the Court to the Kitchen" was given and it simply fit! My cook book name was born! Which one said it first will forever be a mystery, but we are all family so it really doesn't matter! The brand, From the Court to the Kitchen, now include my cook books, coney sauce spice packets (for authentic Flint, Michigan Coney Dogs), seasoning salts, herb rubs, creole seasonings and a line of athletic cook wear. That's cook wear as in caps, shirts and sport themed aprons.
The spices were created to emphasize my nearly 25 years of recipes. The idea was to create delicious and flavorful spices that could easily enhance any dish, whether it was from my cook book or one of your personal recipes.
