It is a home, a family, and a heart for thousands that, for more than twenty years, beat to the resounding drum of Chef Frank Lee.
This book does not try to speak to every dish churned out of the S.N.O.B. kitchen over the years. Instead, it presents classic recipes—those “sacred cows” that regulars would not allow off the menu—
as well as long-running seasonal plates and many of the sauces, side dishes,
and dressings that played foundational roles in the restaurant’s popular Lunch
Express and Dailies menus.
But don’t expect long explanations and elaborate instructions. It’s on you,
dear reader, to see these recipes for what they are—a starting point. It’s on you to bring them together and to use what’s around you—to learn your technique and create balance within the rhythm of your own kitchen.
Accept the challenge, embrace the effort, and evolve.
