Good Stock is the story of Sanford "Sandy" D'Amato's journey from young Italian kid who loved to cook to unknown culinary student with a passion for classical French cuisine to one of the most respected chefs and restaurateurs in the country. This was a time when American cooks were by and large being frozen out by French chefs who didn't believe the Americans had what it took to create great cuisine. D'Amato, through persistence, skill, and the help of his mentor, Chef Peter Von Erp, became the first American cook at Le Veau d'Or and worked under Chef Roland Chenus through the groundbreaking opening of Le Chantilly. Praise for Sanford D'Amato, his restaurant, and Good Stock : “Sandy D’Amato always operates on two levels: homespun Midwestern cook and brilliant ‘big city’ chef; boss and mentor; partner and husband; artist and businessman. The life lessons here are even better than the passel of recipes that are brilliant examples of D’Amato’s genius.” — Andrew Zimmern, Travel Channel. "For Sanford D’Amato who grew up in the squat brick building that now houses his namesake restaurant, living above the shop is like having people over for dinner every night, which for a chef and son of an Italian grocer, is the best way imaginable to spend one’s life. "Sanford D'Amato has the rare gift of cooking brilliantly and authentically in many styles.... [he] has turned his family's old grocery store into a sophisticated, pale-hued dining room with an international menu and superb service." “Sanford D'Amato, founder of Milwaukee's Sanford restaurant, creates a testament to his genuine love of food and a lifetime of good meals” — Saveur. “Even if you haven’t had the chance to meet Sandy D’Amato, or never got to eat at his incredible restaurant Sanford, this book gives you more than a taste of his talents both for storytelling (how many people can say they’ve ridden the Wienermobile through Wisconsin with Julia Child?). "The stories and recipes included in Good Stock follow the interwoven threads of D’Amato’s career, personal life, love of food and learning from mentors and experiences alike." "Once again the ratings champ in Milwaukee, and surveyors heap superlatives on this “exquisite” New French run by the great team of Sanford and Angie D’Amato, calling it not only the 'best in Wisconsin' but among 'the best in the country.'". From his homey Pork Cabbage Rolls to the elegant Chilled Lobster with Cauliflower Cream and Caviar, these dishes bring readers along on the culinary journey that has been Sandy’s career.” — Bob Kinkead, chef/proprietor, Ancora, Washington DC.

Presented with modern punctuation and spelling, judicious cuts, and helpful notes–plus fascinating background information on every delegate and an overview of the tumultuous times–here is the great drama of how the Constitution came to be, from the opening statements to the final votes. In 1787, the fledgling American nation was in the throes of a serious economic depression, at least partly because the Articles of Confederation were too weak to make a stable republic.
