About this title

About the Author

Robert A. Dickson was born in New Jersey. He began his culinary career directly from high school by entering the Culinary Institute of America at its first location in New Haven, Connecticut in 1963.France beckoned to him where he studied its food with an encouraging letter from Julia Child, author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volumes I and II. She introduced him to her late co-author Simone Beck. Robert assisted Simone with her cooking classes in Paris. These culinary scholars built a solid foundation for his cooking style and technique, but his strongest influence was from his Italian mother who he considered a great cook. Her policy was, 'the more garlic and olive oil in recipes the better.' She also pressed him to make his food inventive, impressive and delicious. His family and the enjoyment of dining sensitized Robert's palate to the fine ingredients of good food.In the mid-1970s, Robert took a sabbatical from 'chefing' and lived in London, England to study opera singing. His natural voice and repertoire improved and gave him the confidence to combine his two loves - cooking and singing - to feature in his next restaurant. Robert is the founder of Robert's of Charleston with his wife, Pam. For over twenty-six years, they have pleased diners from everywhere on the globe. Since it opened in 1976, Robert's is an institution where his music makes fine dining memorable. He cooks and entertains patrons with gourmet food and his operatic baritone voice.In 1978, Robert published his first cookbook, Robert's of Charleston Dinner For Six, featuring some of the recipes for dishes often served in his restaurant. Two other cookbooks to his credit are A Journal of Fine Cooking and Robert's of Charleston at Home.Robert's of Charleston Restaurant has been favorably reviewed in major food magazines, including GOURMET, BON APPETIT, FOOD & WINE, SOUTHERN LIVING, and TRAVEL & LEISURE by Conde Nast. As a result of his dedication to the restaurant industry in South Carol
