Dean Loxley lives in South California, and he has been passionate about food since childhood. His drive to share culinary wonders with others has inspired him to create his vast line of cookbooks that cover topics from barbeque to bread machine baking. Each book is packed with colourful photographs and step by step instructions for that perfect meal. Cooking has always been more than a job for Dean, and he strives for perfection in every recipe, and meal he creates. Always on the hunt for the best ingredients he only cooks with the freshest products he can find. When he is not cooking, Dean loves to surf, try new restaurants to see if they measure up, and spend time with his family.
