Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

As cheerful and accessible as he is dynamic, TV host and chef Gerry Garvin has been a rising star in the world of fine dining since he was 13, when he joined the dishwashing staff at a haute Atlanta inn to help his single mother make ends meet. At 15 he became the youngest cook at the Atlanta Ritz-Carlton, followed by stints as executive chef at several top California restaurants before becoming the executive chef and co-owner of an award-winning restaurant in L.A.--a path that led him to television stardom.

He is the author of two previous cookbooks and host of two of the most popular shows on TV One--Turn Up the Heat with G. Garvin and the new G. Garvin: The Road Tour. Garvin's shows are available in more than 40 million households and reach nearly every major African-American community.

    So I am a lover of G. Garvins recipes and most of my top secret recipes are from his cookbooks. This cookbook is a winner for those that are looking for a variety of recipe styles, different food ideas and as the title says want to keep it super simple. Most of the recipes ingredients consist of 5-10 items and the book consists of over 100 recipes.The book gives you some very handy cooking secrets, photos of some of the recipes so that you can eat with your eyes and also some sweet and entertaining photos of G. Garvin and someone who I assume is his daughter assisting him in cooking obviously to show how super easy the meals are to prepare. Overall, I loved the recipes, I was entertained by the notes within the book, the kitchen secret are helpful and the recipes are always very FLAVORFUL! Looking forward to more of your recipes and books.

    I love Chef Garvin's cook books. I have purchased all of them.
    Even though he's on TV One at 5am, where I am, I watch him
    every morning before getting ready for work. I think he's the best
    chef on TV right now. One of his catch phrases is the title of this book.
    His recipes are just that. Simple !!! When it comes to cooking, I'm all thumbs.
    I've made some of his recipes, and really surprised myself. If you love food
    that tastes and looks good, Chef G. Garvin is your man. Try it, I guarantee
    you'll love it. !!!!

    This book is great! I am not a chef by no means but you wouldn't know it if you tasted my Blackbean Tortillia soup that I made from Gerry Garvin's book. My kids think that I am the new chef on the Block. Bragging on how good it was. It made it so easy. You have to get this book.

    I love, love, love this cookbook. It is absolutely great for the way I cook. It has easy recipes, great photos and shares some personal tidbits that make you respect the author for his efforts. I use this book nearly everyday and it has quickly become a staple for me. I am in the process of buying more of his books as I am very satisfied with this purchase. Cannot think of anything negative to say at all.

    What is there to say, Super Recipes. People still seem to be surprised that men cook and have recipes. I remind them that most restaurants have had male chefs forever. he one thing I like about men that cook, they don't mind sharing their recipes like women do. Super Simple recipes are just what I need.
