Book teams up with Web site

AT HOME IN THE KITCHEN, by Jorj Morgan (Cumberland House, $18.95) -- Jorj Morgan's At Home in the Kitchen is one of the few cookbooks on the market with a companion Web site (www.jorj.com). However, you'll have to buy the book to get the recipes.

The recipes will appeal to all skill levels. The ingredients are common and the directions easy to follow, with no more than 10 steps for each recipe. Some recipes have a Florida flair, such as Cracked Stone Crab with Dilled Mustard Sauce, Crab and Artichoke Balls with Key Lime Butter, and Key Lime Squares.

Helpful hints accompany some recipes. For instance, the author writes that the Southwestern Vinaigrette for pasta salad is better the day after it's prepared. Other tips include simple substitutions, cooking techniques or presentation ideas. Another bonus is the inclusion of menus at the back of the book. Morgan offers four weeks' worth of menus, dinner party menus for four to six and crowd menus, among others.

The Web site provides a place to leave comments about recipes and gives additional serving ideas. For example, a salmon spread recipe is found on Page 270 in the cookbook, and the Web site gives instruction on how to pipe the salmon spread onto cucumber rounds or on top of bruschetta for a different presentation.

At Home in the Kitchen would be a versatile addition to your collection. Coupled with the Web site, it offers a plethora of entertaining and serving ideas.
