Culinary Kisses presents ... From the Catwalk to the Kitchen: A Collection of Healthy Southern Recipes

Chef Angela-Michelle's culinary foundation was a simple, yet sturdy one. It all started with her parents. They met in the kitchen of the restaurant they worked in. Her mom was a line cook and her dad, the chef. This is why she proudly proclaims herself as the product of a culinary creation. From the Catwalk to the Kitchen: A Collection of Healthy Southern Recipes was written by Chef Angela-Michelle in dedication to the culinary inspirations in her family. Her mom, dad, and grandmother were huge foodie influencers throughout her life. Present day, Chef Angela-Michelle still reflects on and utilizes what she learned in the kitchen as a child and young adult. She typically doesn't measure her ingredients or set a timer. Instead, she feels, smells, and connects with the food to turn out superbly seasoned and perfectly cooked dishes every time. The key ingredient in all of Chef Angela-Michelle's culinary lessons from her family ... love. Love tells you what to season your food with, love tells you how much to use, and love tells you when it's done and ready to serve. And it's this same love that led Chef Angela-Michelle to share her recipes with the world. She has successfully taken classic, southern dishes (one's that were always on the table for every family gathering) and turned them into a healthier version, without losing the food's soul. You see, it's the African ancestors, southern influence, and Chef Angela-Michelle's creative flavor profiling that produced the culinary masterpieces detailed in this cookbook.Take these recipes of love and share them with your loved-ones!
