Cheryl Smith of Cheryl's Global Soul - Soul, Food, and Music
Description
Cheryl Smith is the embodiment of soul food and Earth mother. She’s the owner and chef of one of Brooklyn's most beloved restaurants, Cheryl’s Global Soul, and she's a caterer, a singer, a photographer, and a TV personality on the Food Network. Cheryl's idea of soul food is as the ultimate comfort that touches your soul. There’s no cuisine that doesn’t have a soul food, and Cheryl has made sure New Yorkers and tourists alike get the real thing, the right way, with a touch of — well—soul. Cheryl shares her story with author and chef Rozanne Gold, including how Cheryl's success and fame started from peddling sandwiches around town; what it's like to be a woman, and a woman of color in the food industry, always having to prove yourself; how its OK to cook soul food from all over the world if you do your homework to keep it authentic; how she became an inadvertent Food Network TV star; and, the force of support from women who believe in Cheryl even more than she believed in herself.
