Flavor Quest, Volume 2

Flavor Quest, Volume 2

‘Flavor Quest’
In my first book, I encouraged you to explore your kitchens and to try new recipes to embark on your own personal food journey . With this book, the same goals apply, but with a whole new set of tools/tricks from my arsenal for you to experiment with at home. I intentionally set up the Flavor Quest Series so that you would have the opportunity to mix and match various recipes and dishes that work well together. It’s all about the Garanimals principle for me Think of my books as the same type of tool for the home cook, where you have dishes/flavors that work well together to create the ideal meal. My books are building blocks that while they work great independently, they have much more power working together. Volume One was the foundation and Volume Two introduces more dishes into the mix which afford you brand new options to create a menu for a large gathering or a romantic dinner for two. I am really excited about this book because it has entire sections devoted to things like side dishes, sauces and even some tasty cocktails.

I really love being able to share my tricks from the restaurant and catering world to you at home. It puts a smile on my face to receive feedback from those that currently have the first volume, so please continue to let me know about your personal triumphs with my books. It’s what drives me to pursue my true passion of helping everyone to be a better cook.

And yes, I will be teasing you with menu ideas using recipes from my first book, but it’s only because I truly believe that you can be an even better home cook/entertainer by having a large collection of quality recipes to back you up. Isn’t that what a great series is all about?
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, it’s time to get started and continue forward on your ‘Flavor Quest’, or get you started on your initial journey. Remember to never take it too seriously and have fun!

About the Author
Dave’s road into the culinary world was far from traditional. After leaving a successful career and company in the technology industry behind, Dave chose to pursue his real love and passion-cooking and making people smile through his food. He headed back to school and graduated with honors from the Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena, California. Halfway through the program, he formed his own catering company and took on the Executive Chef role at ‘XO Wine Bistro’ in Manhattan Beach, CA. He soon built a strong local following of customers that enjoyed his multi-regional cuisine that ranged from Southern Barbecue to SouthEast Asian and beyond.
Dave was a Cheftestant on the first season of Bravo’s Top Chef. Fans will never forget his famous Black Truffle Mac n’ Cheese and, of course, Dave’s success in making it to the finals in competition. After appearing on Top Chef, Dave made the leap to New York City and was an Executive/Consulting Chef at Lola, Crave on 42nd, and VYNL Restaurants. Additionally, Dave began building relationships with the University of Illinois , The Culinary Loft in Soho, The French Culinary Institute, In Good Taste- Portland, Oregon, Cisco Systems, Perfect Puree and many more.
In expanding his new business model, Dave has been working hard to keep his name and most importantly his food out there for the public. Since the release of Flavor Quest, Volume 1 in 2009, he has been focused on promoting his book and working on lots of exciting projects.
