Carol Stream, Ill. (April 5, 2023) — Tyndale House Publishers (@tyndalehouse) announced today that celebrity chef and Food Network star Darnell SuperChef Ferguson will publish his first book, SuperChef Family Cookbook, with Tyndale Kids, to release in the fall of 2023. Ferguson’s superhero-themed cookbook includes a biographical introduction, which follows his life from his childhood in Ohio to his time in culinary school, his stint on the Olympic cooking team, his eventual fall from grace and trouble with the law, and his life-saving decision to put himself in God’s hands. His story goes on to talk about his success in building a chain of SuperChef restaurants, his current status as a Food Network star, and now host of his own television program. The second section of the book includes creative and approachable recipes for the entire family, featuring culinary tips and techniques to help children learn to be a super chef like Darnell. QR codes are included, taking kids to online videos where Darnell demonstrates cooking techniques.
With the release of this book, SuperChef hopes to be the inspiration and example kids look to as they begin their journey into the culinary world. As a rising star on Food Network and three-time contestant on Guy Fieri’s Tournament of Champions, SuperChef is the host of SuperChef Grudge Match and recently co-hosted Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America (Season 25) alongside chef Anne Burrell. SuperChef has also appeared on HGTV’s Home Town Takeover and OWN’s The Big Holiday Food Fight, as well as Food Network’s Chopped, Supermarket Stakeout, Tiny Food Fight, Guy’s Grocery Games, and much more.
Regarding this exciting acquisition, Tyndale Kids associate publisher Linda Howard shared, “We are so excited to be working with Darnell SuperChef Ferguson on this cookbook. His creative approach to teaching kids foundational cooking skills paired with his desire to help them care for others through the food they make has created a unique and fun culinary experience that will help produce a new generation of “super chefs.”
