Shannon Smith, a private chef based in Tulsa, has spent over 20 years honing her culinary skills and exploring the world. Drawing inspiration from her travels, she has written a cookbook that blends stories with recipes to create a unique and immersive dining experience.
Over the course of six years, Smith visited 53 countries and developed a deep appreciation for the diverse food cultures she encountered along the way. Each chapter of her cookbook is dedicated to a different place where she has cooked, with only one chapter focusing on her home country of New Mexico. This allows readers to explore global cuisine in-depth and gain insights into the unique preparation methods used by chefs from around the world.
The book features pictures, recipes, and stories that showcase the diversity of global cuisine that Smith has experienced. There are 10-11 recipes in each of its 12 chapters, allowing readers to try their hand at some of the most popular dishes from around the world.
Smith chose to self-publish her cookbook and it is now available exclusively for purchase on her website, chefshannon.com. By sharing her passion for cooking and cultural exploration through this book, Smith hopes to inspire others to broaden their horizons and embrace the rich tapestry of flavors and traditions that exist around the world.
Through this cookbook, Smith not only shares her culinary creations but also gives an insight into how food is intertwined with culture and history. She aims to showcase not just delicious recipes but also stories behind them which makes this book more than just a collection of recipes but also an interesting read about different parts of the world.
