GREEN BAY, Wis. -- In Cooking with a Laugh and a Martini, author L.R. Lawnicki shares easy to prepare recipes straight from his kitchen.

In Cooking with a Laugh and a Martini, Lawnicki takes a light-hearted approach to cooking and offers simple recipes that call for easily accessible ingredients. "The idea of this cookbook is to have fun with foods that everyone has heard of and can readily procure," he says. "No exotic herbs that can only be found in the Himalayas if there is a full moon in September, no kosher salt, no prosciutto, no white fish liver and no extra-virgin olive oil."

Unlike many recipes he has seen on professional cooking shows, Lawnicki considers his fare to be uncomplicated, his ingredients affordable and his methods easy to replicate in any moderately equipped kitchen. Kirkus Discoveries says, "This collection of recipes from the upper Midwest serves equal portions of comfort food and humor. Down-to-earth foodies rejoice."

"My cookbook is an expression of my love of cooking, and I hope readers will be inspired to get creative in their own kitchens", Lawnicki says. "Grab a pan, and I will throw in a pinch of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a cup of friendship."
