About the Author
Andrew initially was trained as a classical chef in some of Bermuda's, finer resorts. From an early age he was recognized for his creative talent and has won gold medals for ice and butter sculpture.

Working through the kitchens he moved into management, eventually becoming General Manager in some of the world's largest resorts. He has managed properties in some twelve countries and later went on to do consulting in places such as South Africa, Egypt, the United States, the Caribbean, Spain and France.

Eventually developing his own hotel from scratch in New Mexico, he took a rundown adobe estate in Albuquerque and within two years 'Las Palomas' was rated in 'Americas Top 100 Little Inns'.

Always being a student of history, Andrew has walked Hadrians Wall, The Inca Road in Peru and visited Pyramid sites from Egypt to Mexico to satisfy his thirst for knowledge. The pirate haunts of the Caribbean and the lost cities of Central America have also been visited.

'Their Last Suppers' comes from a desire to combine history and food in a package that people today with their active lifestyles can appreciate. The history is cutting edge, accurate, concise and fun and the recipes are easy. "We can teach ourselves and our children so much by learning from the past. This way we can do it with a great meal along the way--Cheers!"
