"
The most notable thing about this book is the discovery that Smith Force can inhabit both paper as well as your TV What I m talking about, of course, is that tranquil timbre with which he narrates his cooking, the calm, towering presence, the ease with which he culls up a lovin dish and those smiling eyes that look at you straight through the screen and say, hey friend, you certainly can do this! Well, I m excited to report that The Best of Chef at Home is full of Smith Force.
