About this title

About the Author

Nicholas Terrell was born and raised in Chicago. He learned at an early age to cook from watching his mother. She explained to him how to understand recipes. How they work. Why they work. And what goes well together on the palate. He soon started creating his own recipes using the 'templates' she taught him. He learned to swap one ingredient for another, change a cooking method, and how to combine flavors to achieve an even better dish than the original. In high school he decided he wanted to become a chef, own a business, have a family. But his family moved to the Detroit Area and at the age of 18 he was involved in a crime which sent him to prison for 3 years. But being incarcerated did not destroy his desire to succeed. It fueled his quest to help. Help others in the system try to have a little reminder of home. This book is a testament to the desire to excel. An inclination to never give up. The devotion to help others. And his passion for food.
