Why read it?
1 author picked Norman Van Aken's Feast of Sunlight as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Norman Van Aken is known internationally for introducing "fusion" into the lexicon of modern cookery as the founding father of New World Cuisine.
Van Aken found his cooking voice in Key West by marrying Caribbean ingredients and spices with classic cooking techniques.
He wrote this landmark book while helming Key West's Mira restaurant, where he showcased lobster terrine with caviar on a champagne yogurt dressing, curried carrot and chicken soup, and grilled marinated shrimp and chorizo.
Chef Charlie Trotter once called Van Aken, “the Walt Whitman of American Cuisine.” That would make this book his “Leaves Of Grass.” Poetry indeed.
