SOME LIKE IT HOT! The Culinary Adventures of One Hot Momma and One Cool Dude.This collection of recipes came into being due to a number of not-too-serious disagreements on the best way to prepare-and season-food. SOME LIKE IT HOT! is a unique compilation of delicious, down-to-earth dishes and baked goods, prepared in two distinct ways to satisfy two widely disparate palates. It also includes a few that were "just right" the way they were. Along with a variety of recipes, the authors have included reminiscences and philosophies about food and wine, tips to improve your cooking and baking skills, and quotes on the subject of food and eating from notable people. The authors hope you enjoy testing-and experimenting with-the recipes presented here as much as they enjoyed creating them.
About the Author: J Margotta-Ferrara is the pen name of the husband-and-wife writing team of John and Jenny Margotta. Together they have published two fantasy-adventure novels-Retribution (ISBN: 978-1977917300) and Resolution (ISBN: 978-1977982773)-set in early medieval Europe and the Middle East. Both are available on Amazon.com. ______________________________________ John Ferrara was one of several pen names used by the late John Michael Margotta. At his final one-man art show just before his death, John was asked to describe himself in a single sentence. His reply? "I am a collector of experiences." He collected more experiences than most. As a writer, he published works in fantasy adventure, technical articles, short stories, erotica, philosophical musings, and poetry. During his long and productive life, he was also a truck driver, soda jerk, roofer, deep sea diver, bartender, photographer (for over 60 years), cook, model, teacher, business owner and artist. He was a combat veteran, proudly serving with the U.S. Navy Seabees in the Pacific during World War II. "Don't try to pin me down to writing in one genre," John always admonished. "Don't put me in a box." Sadly, John passed away on August 2, 2012, leaving behind a body of work that includes over 40 short stories, two unfinished manuscripts of contemplation and human observation, numerous works of poetry, and thousands of negatives, photos, and computer-generated prints. He is missed by all who knew him. ______________________________________ Jenny Margotta is a professional editor and published author. With over 30 years' experience writing for business and pleasure, and retired from corporate management, Jenny readily admits that writing and editing-all the aspects of using words to entertain and inform-are the things she most enjoys. She holds a B.A. in English/Language Arts and devotes most of her time to her extensive work as an editor, fine-tuning other's efforts. But she does write for herself, as well. "I write because I am driven to do so," she admits. She says she is her family's storyteller, at least for this generation. Her writing includes telephony-related articles, written during her years in the corporate world, and numerous short stories. She is currently working on The Woman in Room 23, a novel inspired by her mother's 12-plus year battle with Alzheimer's. In memory of John, she continues to write under the name J Margotta-Ferrara.
