Wall Art-Tribute to the Chef



This Wall Art is one in a series from RiverRock Critters Buon Appetito Recipe Collection. The series will reflect a chef in various scenarios and depict the dedication of a true artist. My Father was a chef for over thirty years which inspired me to create this character on a plaque to honor his Traditions, Italian Heritage, and Expertise in the art of cooking.

If you would like an art piece for yourself or for a special cook in your life please email me with your request. This would make a wonderful, memorable gift for someone who truly enjoys the art of cooking.

This particular piece measures 5 x 7 ½ and may be purchased for $20.00.

I have added a recipe from the archives of my family, as well as, a cute poem for all chefs that perform their craft with passion and enthusiasm.


Italian Shrimp

1 ½ lbs. tomato
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
4 lbs. shrimp
1 tsp. fresh basil
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp oregano
1 cup sweet red wine
Salt and pepper to taste

Blend the tomatoes in a processor. Heat the oil and sauté the garlic and onions. Add the tomatoes, shrimp, parsley, basil, oregano, wine, salt and pepper. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve over rice.

Buon Appetito!

Like an artist with blank canvas, he creates a masterpiece

His goal - to provide his guests with a royal feast

With skillful hands and talent, he makes light work of it

Chopping, mixing and stirring to perfection as guests begin to sit

With pride he serves each dinner, inspecting each and every plate

It must be perfectly flawless in his eyes and no one should be late

His reward is smiling faces, empty plates, and a request for more

No higher compliment can be paid to him this he can not ignore

They shout in joyful praise and their voices soar

The Artist - the Master - the Chef
