From the time he was a baby, James Haller loved being in the kitchen. Internationally acclaimed chef and award-winning author James Haller serves up a perfect blend of humor, nostalgia, and wisdom in this delightful culinary memoir. In his latest book, Chef Haller chronicles a lifetime of cooking. 'I never formally studied the culinary arts.

Salt & Pepper Cooking brings me full circle-back to where I began.' -Chef Haller.
