The Honest Fire
A New Chapter of Truth Through Food, Faces, and Flame
After the raw confessions of The Hungry Renegade, the journey continues with The Honest Fire — a new chapter of truth told through food, faces, and flame.
Where Cooking Returns to Its Soul
Where the first book explored rebellion inside kitchens, this one steps outside them — into villages, deserts, and forgotten lands where cooking is still an act of survival and grace.
It’s a chef’s return to the beginning, where the fire still speaks and every meal has a soul.
“In the places where fire is still honest, where food is cooked with purpose and shared without pretense — that’s where the real story lives.”
