Your favourite comfort food, with the volume turned up to the max! Chef Chuck Hughes cooks in his restaurants all week, making sure that every dish he sends out at his two Montreal places, Garde Manger and Le Bremner, is perfect and that every client leaves happy. On his one day off, he cooks some more—for his friends, family and staff. He cooks for love and for fun, and what he cooks up makes for fabulous and engaging television viewing on the hit Food Network Canada show Chuck’s Day Off. This cookbook features over 100 recipes: favourite dishes and menus from the long-running show, plus all new recipes developed just for the book. The flavour-packed dishes are grouped into menus and connected to stories that Chuck tells, providing a behind-the-scenes-look at Chuck’s life and the challenges he faces in balancing his dedication to great food with the daily realities of running restaurants. Food-lovers and cooks of all levels will fall in love with Chuck’s open and honest cooking and addictive style of comfort food.
