IN THE KITCHEN WITH: John Bowman

Sarasota resident John Bowman enjoys whipping up his own recipes in the kitchen to prepare meals for family and friends. He says he’s not one to follow recipes; he likes to keep things relaxed and adds many of his ingredients on a to-taste basis. Bowman shows us how to prepare his own recipe for a summer salad, just in time for the warm weather.
