In case you haven't gotten around to obtaining a copy of Tyler's cookbook, Savoring Life, yet, I just wanted to let you know what you are missing. This little dude knows what he's doing in the kitchen.

Like soups? How about "Smoky Split Pea Soup," with pancetta? Into salads? "Kicked Up Caesar Salad" fills the bill. I'm fairly sure that his dad, Insomniac, oversaw the creation of "Beer Poached Chicken with Mushroom Sauce," so get out of here with your accusations of under-age cooking. I may surprise Mrs. Bruinut one night with "Dragon's Breath Chicken Enchiladas."

Obviously, Tyler digs egg rolls. "Taquito Egg Rolls" heads the list of a half-dozen egg roll recipes. Like any kid, he fancies mac and cheese, and chicken tenders, too. Of the three m&c recipes, I might have to go for "Ultimate Mac & Cheese" first. "Nut Crusted Chicken Tenders" would likely be my first choice of the three or four tenders recipes.

I don't know if it was intended as a tip of the chef's cap to the Bruins, but his "Chicken Cordon 'Blue'" modifies the French spelling of "bleu" into something all right-thinking sports fans can appreciate.

Recommended.

Go Tyler. Go Bruins.
