A Celebration of Spring

Book Cover & Preview Text
Learning to cook is a life-long process. As a foodie and a home cook, with a passion for food and growing my own vegetables in my back yard, I am inspired by the Southern foods and desserts cooked by my grandmother and mother and the global cuisines found on the continents of Africa, Europe, South America and Asia. My point of view about food in general is that it should be “sustainable soul food”; that food should be fresh, healthy, wholesome and affordable. Food is the common bond in all things that connects us with Nature, with our families and with our friends. As a home cook, I also find inspiration in traveling, dining at all types of establishments and restaurants in different cities, visiting the farmers market, street food and reminiscing about the meals that I have enjoyed over the years with my friends and family members. All of these experiences have resulted in this cookbook featuring meals that are inspired by seasonal produce that are wholesome, adventurous and beautifully prepared.
