The book assumes that the reader has at least a little cooking experience and knows the basics of sautéing, braising, roasting, etc. Most recipes include suggestions for variations on the theme. The reader is challenged (if he or she wants to be challenged) to exercise his or her personal creative juices and to modify the recipe to make it his or her very own creation. Information is provided on the subject of equipment and ingredient sources. In this context, an emphasis is placed on where to get the best deals. In addition, recommendations for what the reader should have in the pantry are provided. One of the criteria for inclusion of a recipe is that it had to be good for cooking both a family meal and for entertaining a crowd. Each recipe tells how many servings it is designed to provide so that the ingredient amounts can be increased or decreased in accordance with the number of people to be fed.

For more than 40 years, Ive collected recipes of dishes that I personally love. The sources of these recipes are friends, family, and restaurants from around the world as a result of extensive travel when I was working for a living. Some of the recipes are of my own invention, but most of those sourced from others Ive modified to fit my cooking style or to use ingredients that are readily available in America. Having retired from my professional life, and having nothing better to do, I decided to share a part of my recipe collection with people who like to eat. The result is this book, Mikey Likes It!
