Easy Gourmet Cookbook: Simple Healthy Recipes for Limited Space and Great Taste

This is a collection of 80 of my favorite recipes I have made over and over again for many awesome gourmands, from high-paying luxury charter guests to friends and family. As a chef on luxury charter yachts, I have learned to make impressive food with a nice presentation in a tiny space and with simple ingredients. I am not a chef that uses tweezers to decorate a dish (I honestly don’t have the patience), but I believe in making an effort to present nicely, and I would like every beginner or advanced cook to be able to make awesome food and do the same. I have been asked many times by guests on charters to share my recipes, and every time they were impressed at how easy it can be to create great tasting, nicely presented, high end menus from scratch with few ingredients. You too can create great food and enjoy the praise!
The recipes in this book can easily be adapted for vegetarian and vegan diets.
