This is the first book in years, that I bought, without ever hearing about it, without seeing any review, nor
ever hearing about the subject. It was a slow book release period, so I was just looking around at the bookstore, and
when I picked this book up, and saw that the guy was from San Diego, which is where my son lives. I decided to give it a
shot, if for no other reason, than to get some info, to discuss with my son. The story line, of a kid in the ghetto,
going from selling $35,000.00 worth of cocaine a week, to being a head chef in Las Vegas, peeked my interest. The
beginning of the story, sounded like the same old, "poor ghetto kid, wrong crowd, the world's against me"
crap. I was tired of hearing, that a kid from a one-parent family, has an "excuse" to run with the wrong
crowd. All you have to do, is look at basketball star Isiah Thomas's life story, where, despite living in the absolute
worst part of Chicago, his single mom, went so far as to get a gun, to keep the wrong crowd, from getting her son. To
move ahead a few years, to when Jeff's arrested, and goes away to prison for a long time, is where this book started to
get interesting. Jeff found all the ghetto slang, and "homie's", in the world, wouldn't erase the rude
awakening, and isolation, he found in prison. Who would of thought, that a "lost" cause like Jeff, would find
a love for cooking food, (Instead of cocaine!) in prison. Not your normal, macho, music video, subject matter. Jeff
discovered, a personal goal, to pursue for the future, which was still, many years away, on the other side of a prison
wall. The writing style, is not the greatest, and I did not notice, any "written with", or co-author credit.
So if Jeff wrote it all himself, that would be the reason for it. Since I just got done reading his life story, I know
he wasn't highly educated. This does not take away from the fact, that he dramatically turned his life around, and
wouldn't quit, when he got his chance on the "outside"! He doggedly, and commendably, did everything within
his power to reach the zenith of cooking. He is now cooking masterpieces of food, in fine restaurants, that a guy like
me, can't, pronounce, can't spell, and probably wouldn't eat. But, I almost feel, like I went through this with Jeff, by
reading his book.

As a retired NYPD lieutenant, I've experienced
my share of ex-cons who talk a good talk about "going straight" vs. those who actually do it. Mr. Henderson
has written an inspirational and totally believable version of his life. I listened to the unabridged audio version of
the book, with the autor as reader. While Mr. Henderson retains his street accent, this book could have been read by a
polished reader with not nearly the impact.

So, coming from a cynical old cop, I believe I've found one of
the few ex-con who speaks the truth about his desire to become a functioning member of society while attaining culinary
heights not often relaized by those who've had more opportunities in life. Great book.

To simplify the essence of who Jeff is, he is "the man." His story and survival is
just "wow," awe inspiring. Not only did he survive the hell and challenges of poverty with no guidance from
family, he was drawn into the "bling" world of drugs, fast money and sex. The blessing for Jeff was actually
going to prison, and not because this put him on the path to achieving his dream of becoming a world class chef,prison
kept him ALIVE.

"Cooked" is a well written book that is so down to earth and engaging, that you
want to help that lost boy that was virtually alone in his youth, and celebrate with Jeff his current success. He writes
brilliantly and draws his reader in with his beautiful style.

How lucky we all are to share in the
"sweets" of Jeff's remarkable life and "dishes" at the Bellagio. Thanks for changing your life Jeff,
we are all benefiting in our waist line.
