The idea for this cookbook probably started in high school. I mentioned to my aunt (whom I was living with at the time) that I liked peanut butter and jelly sandwiches thus for one month all I got to eat was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, not exactly what I was aiming for. I’m a sandwich lover, which is ironic because I can’t eat bread. Over the years I have gathered countless recipes from cookbooks, the internet and family. I have tested and tweaked all of them to be a bit more “me,” so here they are bound into a book. This is my tribute to my inner chef.
