Creating Empty Bottle Moments Book

This is more than a cookbook-much more. I valued empty bottles because they reminded me of celebrations people enjoyed. In this book, I share insights from my life and career in the restaurant business to help us create those kinds of memories with our family and friends.
"Even today, people ask me, 'What's a nice Jewish boy like you still doing in the kitchen?' I tell them that in a sense, we're all in the kitchen because it's a symbol of life, full of joy and spills, glorious successes and burnt dishes, tender moments with and unnerving chaos. The place where masterpieces are created also produces stuff we cart off to landfills. We're all in the process of learning, growing, and laughing with each other. It's there that we develop our recipes for cooking and for life."
