This book was originally written for a man without a lot of cookery experience. Each dish can be made in 10 steps or less and the ingredients are easy to find and buy in grocery stores. My brother Pete was diligently following Dr. Pagano's advice from best-selling book 'Healing Psoriasis' but due to lack of experience, time and imagination, steamed salmon and vegetables became the dish du jour - every night. Special occasions, going out or any hint of variety meant 'breaking the rules' and un-doing any good progress he had made with his skin. Pete's Kitchen works to close the gap between 'being good' and 'being bad' with varied, balanced and delicious recipes as well as chef's tips on how to prepare ingredients quickly and easily. Psoriasis is a skin condition that affects millions of people and yet prescribed medicines (mainly creams, bath solutions and in some cases UV light treatment) have limited results. When Pete discovered Dr. Pagano's book (it's in the top 5 best-selling health book on amazon.com), the outcome was startling and in the six months of eating meals from Pete's Kitchen recipes, the results have held.
