About this eBook
About the author
Joseph T. Bonanno is a twenty-one-year veteran firefighter with the New York City Fire Department. He is an academy-trained chef, fitness trainer, and nutritionist and winner of many regional and national cooking contests. He is also author of The Healthy Firehouse Cookbook and The Firehouse Grilling Cookbook and has appeared as a guest on many national television shows and been featured in both fire department and culinary publications. Joe has just completed taping episodes of his own new television series, called Firehouse Kitchen, soon to be aired locally in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut area and then nationally. The set is a reproduction of a New York City firehouse complete with brass fire pole, which both Joe and guests will slide down to start each episode. The show will feature guests from the firefighting community as well as chefs, cookbook authors, restaurateurs, and celebrities. Joe enters the children’s book arena with an endearing story that draws from experiences with firefighters and fitness clients. The story touches the heart about being the best you can be and that sometimes what you are is all you need to be. For more information about Joseph T. Bonanno, the new show, or his books, contact him at www.chefbonanno.com or the show at www.firehousekitchen.org.
