Your energetic presentation in "Firemanese" had everyone
listening and learning. Your presentation on the latest nutritional
concepts for Firehouse Cooking was well prepared, informative and very
well received by our participants. You were able to motivate
the group and reinforce your valuable message.
Chief Alan Brunacini Phoenix Fire
Department Annual Health, Fitness and Safety Symposium
On behalf of the Providence Fire Department I wanted to extend our
sincere appreciation. You received extremely high
ratings in all categories. It is extremely rewarding to me to
know that since the conference, many firefighters in Providence are
using recipes from The Healthy Firehouse Cookbook
on a regular basis for firehouse meals(my own station included). Furthermore,
their is a much heightened awareness of
the importance that diet and exercise play in overall firefighter health.

Providence Fire Department Firefighter Safety and Survival Conference
I would like to thank you for sharing your stories and expertise on
Healthy Firehouse Cooking. The recipes from your cookbook turned out
well. The catering company and firefighters concurred since the attendees
were scraping the bottom of the pan filled with
your sausage jambalaya!

Your sparkling class at The Silo Cooking School was truly a delight.
Not only was the food fun to make but your stories,
tidbits and helpful hints made the students feel as if they were
cooking with you in your firehouse kitchen. Joe, thank you for sharing
your love of food that reflects your professionalism and commitment
to excellence.

This donation was a direct result of the kindness of Joseph Bonanno,
a New York City Firefighter and cookbook author who insisted his Book
and Cook honorarium be donated to the Philadelphia Burn Foundation.

Just wanted to congratulate you for your outstanding performance in
our recent episode of Food Fantasy. Your
charm, personality and the natural chemistry you had with our guests

up the ball" when things went awry provided for some
great comedic moments.
