First things first rest in peace Uncle Phil, but fa real, I AM NOT A CHEF. I’m an oldest sister who started helping my mom cook for our family of 8 when I was 5, sliced my entire palm open making a sandwich at 6, and had my first (first of many) grease fire at 9. I’m a mom of 2 who heats up frozen chicken nuggets some nights, eats ready – made popcorn for dinner, and would be a platinum level member of Door Dash if one such club existed.

I’m just a regular black girl who, in between take out and frozen nuggets, loves to cook, bake, & add a twist to recipes to make them my own- and I’ve been told I’m not too bad at it. 😉 I wrote this book because real talk, being able to feed yourself is fundamental, too many can’t, and take out can get expensive.

My book doesn’t have 12 pages of story leading up to the instructions or super fancy food you only make on special occasions. What it does have is simple, basic recipes for the everyday cook – straight eats. no chaser.

So, if you can do a little something something in the kitchen, I may not be for you. But, I bet you know someone who could use a little help, so buy a book for them, and if one ends up on your counter by mistake – ain’t no shame.

While you're at it you might as well cop some merch too! You can't cop the cookbook and not rock the apron, or tee or the... you get the point!
