“Leo Orsi has captured the essence of many local dishes. They’re presented with colorful pictures and will have you wanting to get to it. There is nothing more heart felt than a local chef doing what they do best and as I have said many times; it’s not a job, it’s a passion. There is something special that chefs possess, and Leo has captured this with this easy reading, simple recipes, and colorful picture cookbook. I am honored and proud to keep this in my cookbook collection. It’s an excellent recipe guide.”
