Amnon guides readers through simple strategies that can be used to make delicious and healthy meals at home. By mindfully combining fresh produce, simple set-asides, and using a little creativity, Amnon argues that any meal can be turned into an occasion.

​

Described 30 years ago (Toronto Star, March 30, 1994) as “philosopher and bon-vivant,” Amnon has engaged—physically and intellectually—with all aspects of food and its consumption, with devotion and reverence more typically associated with religious observance.

​

An entrepreneur and self-employed consultant with considerable discretionary time at his disposal, Amnon has, since the early 80s, spent a significant part of it in food-centric research, travel experiences, and experimentation. He has cooked, and occasionally catered, in places as diverse as Italy, Mexico, Spain, and Belize, always using farm-fresh (or local market) ingredients. In Caledon or Toronto, Amnon has relied almost exclusively on his gardens, using preservation strategies described in the book.
