The book tells the story of Samuelsson's journey from his childhood in Ethiopia to his rise to fame as a world-renowned chef. Along the way, he shares his insights on the power of food to connect people and cultures.

Samuelsson was born in Ethiopia in 1970. When he was three years old, he and his family fled the country during the Ethiopian Civil War. They eventually settled in Sweden, where Samuelsson grew up and developed a passion for cooking.

In 1994, Samuelsson moved to the United States to pursue his culinary career.

He also writes about the importance of diversity in the American kitchen, and how immigrants have played a vital role in shaping the American culinary landscape.
