What kind of book is it?

Last night I ate dinner in my new favorite Chinese Restaurant Gigi's. From the Hunan on Post Oak famed restaurant. Gigi has put together a wonderful eclectic restaurant in the heart of the Galleria. You almost feel as if you are in another world another place.....Awesome!
The food is fantastic also try the dried beef appetizer, Lettuce wraps with more flavor than a bowl of mixed spices and the sea bass cooked perfectly with a great Chinese finish to the sauce.
While i was there I ran into some old friends and was asked "Is your book a spiritual book?"

The answer is "I believe everything in creation is rooted in the Creator.....but what about the book? is it a cookbook? a spiritual book? a story book? a philosophy book? Here is the answer...

Cooking with Clive
Creating “empty bottle moments” with those you love
This book, I SHARE insights from My life and career in the restaurant business to help us create empty bottle memories with those we love (or are supposed to)
Even today, people ask me, ‘What’s a nice Jewish boy like you still doing in the kitchen?’ I tell them that in a sense, we’re all in the kitchen because it’s a symbol of life, full of joy and spills, glorious successes and burnt dishes, tender moments with and unnerving chaos. The place where masterpieces are created also produces stuff we cart off to landfills. We’re all in the process of learning, growing, and laughing with each other. It’s there that we develop our recipes for cooking and for life.”

—Hardcover, 256 pages, full of color photographs by David Collins www.dmcimages.com (look under upcoming and then then the flicker icon....… $30
Advanced purchase of autographed and personalized copies will be available for here in April.... Book will be released in the summer '08.

Hi Clive,

Please keep me posted as to when the book is out - I'd love to buy a copy. Nick reviews books on his blog (mine is relatively new and a baby at the moment whereas his is much bigger). Would you give us permission to showcase yours on his blog? I know our readers would be interested. The last one he did was Peter's Marilyn Merlot and the Naked Grape which is a collection of unusual wines and their labels. You can find it over on the Pinotage Club Blog. Am passing your blog on to a few friends - it's great reading.

Cheers
Sue

Hi there!

I'm a friend of both Sue & Nick, who passed your blog details to me.
Am very glad they did.
The books sounds intriging and your recipes are certainly appetising.

I'll be back.
Good luck with publication too.

Best wishes
Blue

And what kind of receipts there are? Because most of cook book have such meals that need ingredients which I cant find in the shop. Are there such ingredients too?
