CHEF as POET

By Terry Kelley

(Chef as Poet) is sentimental and sweet and deliver's Terry's personality well, from his kind nature to his talents not only in the kitchen, but with pen and paper. A beautiful gift to the world in remembrance of a talented soul..."-Julian Lennon.

"Professional chef Terry Kelley's Chef as Poet-posthumously completed and published by his brothers-is a powerful tribute to the enduring love of family and the power of food and poetry to connect us, even in the midst of tragedy.

The book unfolds with a moving preface written by brother Richard as an affirmation to his love for his younger brother. The two had been working on a book of their favorite poems coupled with family recipes when Terry suddenly died of a massive stroke. On the day of his death, before Richard had received news of his passing, he clearly heard Terry's cockney voice urging him on: 'Know wot, Rich? I fink you should finish the book.'

Richard enlisted the help of another brother Paul, also a chef, who put the final touches on the recipes that were among Terry's favorites. The result is a deeply moving testament to family, hope, and the unexpected losses in life that can bind us together."

-Traci Medford-Rosow, USAToday bestselling author of Unblinded: One Man's Courageous Journey through Darkness to Sight and Inflection Point: War and Sacrifice in Corporate America.
