s a saucy cocktail waitress on a quest for world domination, Lorna never dreamed she’d land in the kitchen, but that is just what happened when she opened her first restaurant, The Metro Blues Café at the age of 26. Front of the house has its stresses but the voyage to the back of the house, Day says was about as bumpy at The Lewis & Clark Expedition. Self doubt was overcome with instinct as the born culinary wizard created dishes, conquered stereotypes & made a name for herself as the Gourmet Goddess. Born with a creative passion and a blessed palate she started revamping recipes to create easy but delectable versions of traditional fare, all the while, unknowingly, she had started to Fook (fun + cook = Fook).

She refers to her style of cooking as the five star version of wham, bam, thank you Ma’am! This book is not only salivatingly gorgeous, it is full of fun quotes and has a sultry, sexy, open a glass of wine and cook, kind of vibe.

Lorna has become a local celebrity chef, caterer, columnist, food critic, author & radio show host, she’s been crowned the Fooking Queen of innovative eating.
