Patric was raised in the green mountains of Vermont. Cooking techniques were handed down from generation to generation with little refining. After traveling throughout the United States, Canada, and Central America, he settled in Naples Florida. Finding a market for an upscale, in-your-kitchen-catering service, he opened Patrics Catering in 1998 and became one of the most sought after caterers in the area.

We all like a happy ending, don't we? Some of us like to skip right to the end with little or no effort and some of us don't mind working a little harder to achieve what is ultimately that happy ending. Patric has offered just these sort of recipes keeping one thing in mind, the end result, that happy ending. "Cook your way to a happy ending" will entice the novice cooks, the newbies to the kitchen to becoming a more well rounded cook or even baker. From appetizers such as cedar-planked salmon cheesecake, crostini with roasted red pepper, brie and basil or even the best crab cakes, this book will allow you to explore some of the most unusual combinations of ingredients, even the most seasoned cook will admit. You must try the the chilled avocado soup with ginger and lime. Simply delicious! Patric doesn't follow the conventional styles of cooking and believes that " we are one with our imagination". So take this book, taste the roasted veal loin or the whole sea bass, slice off a nice "warm from the oven" piece of anadama bread or lay back in your easy chair with a thick piece of Garys Cheesecake. But whatever you do, make it your own. Have fun, embellish and enjoy the the glow of your happy ending. Patric
