More About the Author

His on screen persona has been described as passionate yet jovial, like some quirky mix of Jane Goodall and Santa Claus. Though he began cooking professionally at the age of 18, his acumen in the kitchen dates back to baking biscuits with his grandmother at the age of five. In the three and a half decades that have followed Stuart Reb Donald has worked in high volume restaurants across the Southeast and Midwest. His career has seen him go from busboy to manager to chef.

Stuart's gregarious personality made him stand out early in life earning him the lead in a number of school plays which eventually landed him a drama scholarship in college where he would major in music. Those musical talents soon sent him to Nashville where he graced the stages of Music City's hottest venues like Windows on the Cumberland and the Grand Old Opry House.

Just thirteen years old, Stuart became a published writer after penning a fishing article for a local outdoor magazine. In the years since, he has published a novel and two cookbooks. He also has become a respected food/travel writer with credits in multiple publications and web sites.

He has used his contacts in the chef community to land interviews with culinary heavyweights like Alton Brown, Graham Kerr, Ted Allen and Iron Chefs Bobby Flay and Michael Symon.

Stuart has combined his many talents and passions as the host of the Internet cooking shows Everyday Gourmet and Little Grill Big Flavor. Additionally, he has established himself as an expert on the burgeoning genre of food related television as a columnist for Edible TV.
