That enormous drive and a desire to document all the recipes passed down from his mother led the Chef to write his first book, “Delicioso”. The second version of the book is due out this month and has been updated with new recipes and photos. Delizioso is Italian for delicious and the Chef anglicized it with a c into delicioso. With this book, Chef Lynnie is bringing restaurant food to the home kitchen. In addition to his family recipes, it also contains some of his favorite recipes and they are all ordered so that anyone can follow them in the order they would need to be prepared. “Delicioso is my dream, a project, and a pain in the rear all rolled into one,” he says. But he wouldn’t have it any other way. The book is set up in order with appetizers, soups, entrees, desserts included. Any element can be added to other elements to make a meal. So the menu is very modular in that respect. The book will also have anecdotes and funny pictures from Chef Lynnie’s past. “The book is all about a celebration of flavors,” he smiles with pride.
The Chef’s fusion cooking style is all about bringing the flavors and textures from other cultures around the world together in a unique way. He continues his fusion style of cooking and food preparation today. From experience, I can tell you that his dishes are not only delightful to the eye but produce an explosion of flavor in your mouth. No other food have I ever tried will leave you stunned in the eating of it like Chef Lynnie’s dishes, and patrons flock to his cuisine like the Holy Grail. Whether he is making Blackened Redfish Macque Choux or Triple Chocolate Puffs with Prentiss Mousse, he continues to delight palates everywhere he goes.
This has led him to re-discover his roots. He has recognized the need for personal chefs. “People want to enjoy their dinner and friends but don’t enjoy the cooking or cleaning”, he said. “Now they can have a fine cuisine dining experience right in their home without having to clean up afterward.”
