Melange: The Story, The Recipes, The Faith by Chef Joe Brown

As I reflect on many years of serving you, I am finally ready to share my reflections with you in this book of recipes. I hope that you enjoy the stories as well. I heard your requests to get copies of recipes for your favorite dishes. Unfortunately, around the same time as the Melange closure, I was beginning to compile recipes for my second cookbook. It was at that time that my world crumbled right in front of me. However, I know that “When one door closes, another always opens”. I believe that is true. In this book, you will find recipes from my 18 years of service. Many of these recipes will bring wonderful memories from Melange @ Haddonfield. I will share stories that were at times funny, often sad, and of course, some that were just life’s little blessings along the way.
