“My pal Bernard and his co-author Ron Oliver have created a perfect book in a  new genre as they seamlessly blend classic French flavors, local caliterranean ingredients and modern technique in a way that begs me to use this book at home…
The photography is food porn, the recipes are simple, yet beguiling, and the entire book has set the bar much higher for all new cookbooks in the twenty first century.  This is a modern masterpiece and is destined for much use in my home kitchens.”

 

“Bernard and Ron have found a unique approach in publishing Flying Pans.  It carefully combines anecdotes, trivia, stories, and recipes in a comfortably formatted yet informative compendium.  It isn’t easy coming up with new and exciting directions for cookbooks but, Bernard and Ron have managed to come up with a format that will keep you interested from beginning to end.”

“This is without a doubt the work of two passionate chefs, one of whom I have had the luck to befriend.  On his frequent visits to Australia, Bernard and I have met and talked passionately about food, our origins, our shared links with farm life, and starting work at a young age.  So it is no surprise to me that Bernard and Ron have produced a beautiful, interesting book, which is the sum of life experiences, dedication, passion and serious research, yet studded with lightness and humor.  Bravo, amico mio!”

“Bernard and Ron’s passion for food and culinary travel jumps off the pages.  This book is wonderfully organized and well written with recipes that are unique and delicious.  The photographs are truly luscious enough to eat.  This is a book that I will not only read from cover to cover again, but will also have fun cooking with!”

“I knew Bernard and Ron were troubadours at heart, but never realized the extent of their travels.  Joining them on this culinary voyage through forty countries is quite a ride, and I don’t even need my passport!  I thoroughly enjoyed the culturally inspired recipes, anecdotes, and the magnificent photography of Flying Pans.”

“Traveling Chefs Bernard Guillas and Ron Oliver take us on an amazing adventure around the globe.  They are two of the most authentic and passionate chefs I know, and have generously shared their personal stories, favorite recipes and a magnificent  taste of our world today.”

“I love how each recipe in this vibrant book pays homage to the country that inspired its creation.  Bernard and Ron show that they are ready for an episode of Iron Chef with their creative colorful dishes that take us to all corners of the world.  Allez cuisine!”

“What a treat, my favorite things, food and travel, beautifully executed in Flying Pans.  Bernard and Ron with the help of Greg Bertolini (an extremely talented photographer) bring to life the sights, smells and tastes of their exotic travels.  This book inspired me with beautiful recipes and heartfelt stories”

“Flying Pans by Bernard Guillas and Ron Oliver is more than just a cookbook.  The two talented chefs take you on an amazing culinary journey all over the world.  Every recipe is magnificently photographed by Gregory Bertolini and styled by the chefs themselves…I expected to like this book, in fact I love it!”

“Chef Bernard and Chef Ron have a passion for life and travel.  With this book they translate that passion into a language we all understand – food.  The recipes here are creative and witty, much like the chefs.  Follow them through their journey of life and enjoy every bite.”

“Flying Pans is an exciting, rich culinary tour of indigenous cuisine from around the globe.  Through the immensely talented, creative style of Chef Bernard and Chef Ron, you are able to explore widely varied fresh flavors woven with their cultural roots.  I especially enjoyed their unique stories and perspectives of the people they meet and the history they uncover.  Flying Pans is a great addition to your culinary and travel library.”

“Anyone who loves to travel will enjoy the pleasures of Flying Pans – remarkable culinary journey.  This cookbook reflects the special passion and devotion Chef Bernard Guillas and Chef Ron Oliver have for fine cuisine and exploring the globe.”

“Bernard Guillas and Ron Oliver may be behind one of the finest and most critically acclaimed restaurants in San Diego – the Marine Room – but according to them, some of the best food in the world isn’t found in a fine dining setting.  Instead, it’s located in the kitchens of everyday chefs and in the authentic, fresh foods they’ve encountered on their travels to over forty countries.  So, two and a half years ago, the executive chef (Guillas) and the chef de cuisine (Oliver) decided to combine those two concepts into an international cookbook.  Two hundred and fifty pages, one thousand recipes, and a great deal of editing later, the two discussed the result, Flying Pans, in an intimate setting at Warwick’s bookstore in La Jolla Wednesday night – but not before presenting the audience with a Moroccan-inspired lemon tart infused with hibiscus.”
