Bestselling author, Top Chef Masters favorite, and award-winning chef Art Smith was discovering new innovations in the kitchen, including his beloved cuisine of the South, but neglecting to take care of himself. So he decided to make a change in the way he ate without giving up the foods he loved. By reinventing his favorite dishes and making exercise a regular part of his life, he lost 120 pounds and transformed both his body and his health. Art always knew that fine cooking is a way to show love to othersbut now he saw it as a way to show love to yourself.
Art cant resist bringing people together through food. Its partly what made him the success he is todayand his unique reimagining of classic comfort dishes has added to his wide appeal.
