Garde Manger

Chuck Hughes is the star of Chuck’s Day Off, a Food Network Canada and Cooking Channel (U.S.) show featuring the charismatic chef cooking for friends and family on his day off at one of his Montreal restaurants, Garde-Manger. Fabulously energetic, fun and a skilled chef, Chuck definitely has star quality and "splash factor."

Garde Manger features recipes from his restaurant and his show that are down-to-earth but festive, and never fussy. What’s wonderful about the book is the energy the design brings - it matches Chuck’s own style and approach to both cooking and life. One can only assume this is the first of many cookbooks from Chuck Hughes.
