Fast Focus Presents Chef Jean Pierre's "Gourmet Minutes"

Fast Focus is proud to present Chef Jean-Pierre's "Gourmet Minutes". You may remember Jean-Pierre from either of his successful PBS shows Sunshine Cuisine or Incredible Cuisine, both aired on over 200 stations, or from one of his 28 appearances as guest chef on NBC's Today Show.

His former restaurant, The Left Bank, where he was chef-proprietor for 21 years, was not only Gourmet Magazine's choice as the #1 restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, but has been named one of the best 100 restaurants in America by Condè Nast.

In addition to being an award-winning chef, Jean-Pierre is an author bringing you over 150 delectable recipes in his most recent cookbook, Incredible Cuisine. He is currently under contract with Time Life Books for two more.

In 1997 Jean-Pierre launched his gourmet cooking school. It quickly became the hottest place in South Florida to enjoy gourmet food, while learning the inside-secrets to gourmet cooking and entertaining. His passion for cooking, and love for entertaining, is what drives him to share his gourmet secrets through his school and many television appearances.

"Everyday cooking does not have to be a chore, and learning to cook impressive, healthy, delicious meals need not take years of hard work. I'll show you the right way to cook. When you understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how to make the most of your ingredients, your dishes will become incredible! And, you'll have a ball making these recipes, and even exploring and creating your own masterpieces. To me, that's what cooking should be - fun!"
