Food Is Inspiration II: A Culinary Declaration

What happens when mastery meets inspiration?

The food stops being food. The sizzle in the pan sounds like applause. And everything you thought you knew about cooking gets rewritten.

Chef Derrick Smith returns with the highly anticipated second volume of the Food Is Inspiration series. Built from 30 years of real kitchen experience, Food Is Inspiration II goes deeper, wider, and higher than anything written before.

13 chapters covering the food delivery revolution, street food culture, bone broth science, hot sauce culture, ancient cooking methods, Japanese culinary influence, Hawaiian cuisine’s true identity, and the global impact of African American cuisine.

This is not a cookbook. This is a declaration. Read it that way.

With a pinch of love and a dollop of blessings,

Chef Derrick Smith

Legacy Chef. Firestarter. Visionary.
