Born and raised in Detroit, Hurse has spent her entire life around food.

Like most African American households the kitchen is a meeting place.

Aarum watched and was taught by the best, her Great-Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother and Aunts.

'As a kid I loved how the neighbors would just show up when they smelled the food. It was like having extra family members! My passion for food started then.' Hurse says

A few years and 40+ recipes later and her cook book, Culinary Cool- Everyday Food, was born.

Her cook books are aimed at helping you to find your own personal flavor profile.

It's about taking the simple foods we eat everyday and thinking outside of the box.

Hurse advises that, if you can't find one of the ingredients used in her books, simply adjust the recipe to your own flavor profile!

It's all about the journey not the destination.

As is best, cooking should be quick and fun!

'I love food for one reason only... it's "tasty as f***". When I think of food, I think in terms of what flavors that I already know I like. Then I say to myself, why wouldn't this same thing work in a different dish?'
