Originally, he pursued a piano performance degree and though he continues to play the piano and sing regularly, he was drawn into the restaurant business thru his love of food and a passion for entertaining.

REVIEW: Video Librarian
Chef Tom Small is a soft-spoken, practical teacher (no gimmicks or catchphrases) who here offers effective step-by-step demonstrations of recipes that require no exotic ingredients or difficult techniques. A native Californian who's currently executive chef at a restaurant outside Seattle, Small prepares five antipasti (appetizers), two pasta dishes served as first courses, two entrees, and two desserts in a home-kitchen setting.

Recipes include giardiniera (vegetables pickled in water and vinegar), a beet salad, a mussel salad with olives and oranges, butternut squash lasagna, chicken with lemons and roasted vegetables, pork tenderloin with garlic and sage, flourless chocolate cake, and caramel apple bread pudding. Small also demonstrates simple tips for efficiently chopping vegetables, peeling fruits, and cutting up a whole chicken. Individual recipes may be selected from a menu, and ingredients are listed onscreen (as well as on a text paper insert). The other titles in the Dare to Cook-Seasonal Italian Cuisine series are Spring, Summer, and Fall. Highly recommended. Aud: P. (M. Puffer-Rothenberg) 3.5 of 4 star rating

REVIEW: Library Journal
Dare To Cook, Seasonal Italian Cuisine with Chef Tom Small. Washington State... based chef Tom Small has all the right ingredients to be an outstanding cooking coach: a graceful way of moving about in limited space and using standard equipment; mellow, unhurried speech; and a creative use of ingredients. He here prepares inspired Italian dishes in what looks like his home kitchen and on his outdoor deck. He is a chef who knows what he is doing and can convey it to others in an easy fashion.

Each disc includes a variety of creative recipes for appetizers and salads, entrees, desserts, and drinks appropriate to the featured season as well as a demonstration of special skills. For example, on Summer, he shows how to debone a whole chicken; on Fall, how to make sausage without special equipment. From first to last, this reviewer... a dedicated amateur... wanted to go right to her kitchen to prepare some of his dishes and felt certain she could do so with only one more viewing. Small is a serious, straightforward, and knowledgeable professional and a splendid teacher. This series is highly recommended for academic cooking classes, high school and above, and for public library patrons wanting to expand their kitchen repertoire.... Sheila S. Intner, Prof. Emerita, Simmons GSLIS at Mount Holyoke Coll., So. Hadley, MA DTC01

Soft, Stylish Leopard Blanket That’s Lightweight, Cozy, and Big Enough to Share
I have been using this leopard print blanket on both the bed and the couch, and it hits a really nice balance between style, size, and comfort. I went with the larger twin style size instead of a small throw, and that was the right call; it is big enough to fully cover me when I am lying on the couch and works much better for two people sitting side by side than a standard throw that always feels a bit cramped. It also looks great draped across the end of a bed or over the back of a sofa, so it doubles as decor. The leopard pattern is genuinely attractive in person. Up close you can see that it is a printed, short shag/flannel style rather than true faux fur, but the brown leopard version still reads more realistic and intentional than a lot of loud, pink “leopard” prints. The colors are vibrant and have a nice pop without being tacky, so it fits easily into different rooms and color schemes as a fun accent. From a distance, it gives a soft, faux fur vibe that looks more expensive than it is. Comfort wise, it is very soft and pleasant to snuggle with. One side feels just slightly softer than the other, but both are smooth and cozy against the skin. It is a single layer blanket with rolled and stitched edges, so it is not a super thick winter comforter, but that actually makes it more versatile. It provides enough warmth to feel comforting without being overly hot, which makes it a nice year round piece: cozy in cooler weather with an extra layer, and just right on its own in milder seasons. The blanket is also lightweight, which makes it easy to move around the house or pack for travel, while still feeling substantial enough that it does not come across as flimsy. It has held up well so far, and the overall quality feels good for the price, especially given the larger size. If you love animal prints and want something that works as both decor and a genuinely comfy blanket to curl up with, this one is easy to recommend. Pros: Large twin style size is big enough to fully cover an adult or share on the couch Soft, plush flannel style fabric that feels cozy against the skin Lightweight but still warm enough to be comfortable year round Brown leopard print looks stylish and more realistic than many novelty patterns Colors are vibrant and work well with a variety of room styles and palettes Edges are neatly rolled and stitched, giving it a clean finished look Cons: Single layer construction means it is not as heavy or insulating as a thick winter blanket
