From Barnes & Noble

Atlanta native Gerry Garvin was just barely 23 when he was named sous chef at the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Palm Springs. In his second book, the colorful star of Turn Up the Heat with G. Garvin dishes out 200 family recipes. Garvin emphasizes simplicity in chapters with titles such "Meals in Minutes," "Lunchtime Favorites, "Thrill of the Grill," and "The Sweetest Part-Desserts." He underlines his straight-to-the-table philosophy with "Garvin's Gotta Be Quick" tips sprinkled generously throughout the book.
