The Murray family loves to gather together—at holidays, on the golf course—and, most of all, around the table. Manning the kitchen is Chef Andy Murray, who began his culinary education at four years old when his mother, Lucille, taught him how to cook bacon. Since then, he has worked in some of the biggest restaurants in the business, and become known for his delicious and family-friendly meals.

In Eat, Drink and Be Murray, Chef Andy Murray invites readers to the Murray dinner table and shares a wonderful assortment of recipes, including:

• Andy’s Chicken Vegetable Soup
• Lucille’s Fried Chicken
• South Carolina Pappardelle
• Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Chef Andy’s approach to cooking is bolstered by the belief that the best part of any meal is the time you spend laughing at the table. And the Murrays spend a lot of time laughing. Food has always been their way of showing love, though a good cocktail doesn’t hurt
