In 1997 we published our third cookbook, “Norman’s New World Cuisine” with Random House. It came about due to the combination of my friendship with (and ‘mutual adoration society’ member) Maida Heatter and the legendary editor Jason Epstein. I was very lucky to have such a proponents of my cooking. Chef Daniel Boulud’s first book came out at the same time and Jason was his editor as well. In fact we had our New York City debut of ‘New World Cuisine” at Daniel’s eponymous restaurant. The New York City press came out in even better support for a Florida based chef with Daniel hosting us no doubt!
