Why a PINK chef's coat?

Simply put, I carry my Dad's legacy with me through my cookbook, cooking and everyday I am writing my food columns, he is always with me. I carry my Mom with me through a silent reminder of her struggle with breast cancer that took her life, as well as the lives of many other women who have dealt with, and are still dealing with, this horrible affliction. Besides, why not pink? It makes a man look good!

Crunchy Salmon Bites

Simple and just as deliciously welcomed as fancier prepared smoked salmon appetizers. Besides, I think the buttery flavor of inexpensive, round crackers pairs perfectly with fish so heave-ho to the fancy crisps and opt for a truly frugal, but better tasting base for your summer get together.
