Sauces & Dressings That Puts the Zing in Any Meal

By Chef Frank Orofino

My cook book deals with mostly sauces and dressings that can be used on any dish. Too often people will make meat, seafood and have no idea as far as what sauces to put on top of the main dish. Also in this book there are great dressings to put on salads, beets and any other side dish that you prepare. This is discussed in the book.
There are some recipes in the book as far as soups, salads and some main dishes that you will find. I hope if this cook book is received by the public then I will make a cook book on main dishes in the future with the sauces and dressings in this book.
I do hope that you enjoy this cook book and have many nights of enjoyment with the recipes.
Enjoy cooking!

Chef Frank Orofino

I remember at an early age, I love watching my grandmother cook. I was so amazed by her skills that I wanted to learn how to make the dishes she always cooked. One day, she told my grandfather to make a stool and I could stand on to help her cook. I had to be 6 or 7 years old. I watched and learned how to prepare different food. We were never a rich family, so my grandmother made due to what we could afford and believe me it was so good! I continued cooking through the years and started to develop my own recipes, but one thing I never changed was my grandmother’s recipes. I always wanted to know if my food was good enough for the public, so I met a Chef who had a restaurant and asked him if I could cook for him. So one day, I went into his restaurant and he challenged me to make him a dish. I believe I made him my duck breast recipe. He ate it and turned to me and said “when can you start?”. Keep in mind I already had a full time job and good pay so what turned into a weekend of cooking turned into 4-5 nights a week depending on my full time job. He gave me the freedom to cook whatever I wanted depending on what I put on the menu. Later in life, I met an old friend who introduced me to a chef that was opening up a restaurant. I told him we would be down Friday night and every Friday night thereafter. To make the long story short, I started helping him out in his restaurant and later he had the opportunity to work with him to open the new restaurant. The Chef and I started working on recipes for the restaurant. I had always wanted to create a cook book and with an illness in the family that kept me home to help my wife who has cancer gave me the opportunity to create a cook book. I do hope that the book helps people to explore this book and maybe use some of the sauces and dressings. Chef Frank Orofino
