I first discovered Pete Clements as the chef of Emilio's, a fabulous restaurant in its time and my personal favorite. Since that time he has catered several dinner parties for us, all of which were a great success thanks to Petes cooking. His food is ALWAYS fresh and beautifully executed as it pleases the eye before one takes a bite of one of his delicacies. He has cooked meals of fish with sauces, beef to perfection, vegetarian dishes that never left us wanting for more, pastas as good an Italian mama would make and I wonder if there is anything he can't cook!
