Author David Aksamit was born on January 11, 1969, in Oregon. As a little boy, his Grandma King used to put him on a chair and let him help with her cooking. That was what inspired Aksamit to learn how to cook. He had always wanted to write his own cookbook. It took him many years, but it is finally complete. Aksamit's hobbies include fishing, hunting, camping, reading, and, mostly, cooking.
This cookbook is dedicated to his Grandma King; his lovely boys, Aaron and Patrick; his mother, Mary; and his sister, Tina, who all try his cooking.
