Chef Curtis Aikens discovered his passion for food and cooking at a young age growing up on a Georgia farm, where freshly picked vegetables were always a part of a home-cooked meal. Having realized his big-screen dream as a local television personality in Atlanta, Curtis traveled cross-country, establishing produce-supplier companies along the way. Beginning as a celebrity chef on ABC’s “Home Show” and “Good Morning America,” he was dubbed “the greengrocer who can cook.” Curtis became one of the founding hosts of The Food Network, where he shared healthy recipes on shows such as “Food In A Flash,” and demonstrated how to use fresh produce on “Pick of the day” and “Meals without Meat.” As a diabetic himself, Curtis lives by the motto “practice makes permanent,” and encourages others to make a lifestyle choice of eating healthy without sacrificing flavor.
