Fire Hall Cooking with Jeff the Chef
Surefire recipes to feed your crew
Jeff Derraugh

    irresistible recipes for big appetites

As entertaining as it is practical, Fire Hall Cooking with Jeff the Chef features tried-and-true recipes from some of the country's greatest unheralded chefs-firefighters. This eclectic collection grew from veteran firefighter Jeff Derraugh's experience cooking for ravenous fire crews, who demand that each meal be deliciously decadent, amply portioned and reasonably priced. Sprinkled throughout are cooking tips and observations culled from 17 years of working-and cooking-alongside firefighters.

With recipes for Rip Roarin' Risotto, Fred Flintstone BBQ'd Beef Ribs, Funky Fire Hall Chili, Southwest Sweet Potato Fries, Jamaican Jerk Pork Chops with Fresh Mango Salsa, Tequila Lime Chicken, Amaretto Cheesecake with Kahlua topping and a whole lot more, Fire Hall Cooking will help you prepare delicious fare for every time of day and every kind of food hankering.

Jeff Derraugh has been a morning-show radio personality, award-winning commercial writer and host of a nationally syndicated radio comedy program. As a firefighter, he volunteered his writing and character-voice skills to the Firefighter Burn Fund's stayingalive.ca website, and he also created an interactive fire-safety game and CD for children.
