*Rooted In Fire* has been a labor of love. This book is 2 years in the making but is full of a life time of stories, passion and recipes collected throughout my life. It’s finally available on Pre-Sale anywhere you can buy books.

Thank you to my friends, family, literary agent and publishing team for your support and encouragement throughout this process. 💖💖.

Excited to cheer on the upcoming chefs tackling the challenge! 🔪 #nextlevelchef #Season3Premiere by @chefpyet

Serving history and tradition. 🥘🦬

#NEW: The winner of Gordon Ramsay’s Next Level Chef, Pyet DeSpain (@chefpyet), just dropped Episode 1 of Spirit Plate (@spiritplateshow) on YouTube!

In the premiere, Chef Pyet returns home to Potawatomi Nation to prepare a bison feast — blending family, tradition, and four cups of sovereignty. 🤌🏼🧑🏽‍🍳

Have you watched this yet?! How does it feel to see our foods celebrated in the spotlight like this?! 👀💭⤵️

Tonight isn’t just about competition—it’s about visibility.

To see Indigenous chefs, ingredients, and foodways highlighted on a platform like Food Network means something deeper. It’s a step toward honoring the original people of this land and recognizing the richness and diversity of the cuisines that shape America.

Grateful for every chef who showed up, every story shared, and every person behind the scenes who helped bring this to life.

May this be one of many. 🤎🔥#chopped #foodnetwork by @chefpyet
