Nona Malone Shares How She Went From Being a Self-Taught Chef to Publishing Her Own Cookbook

There are two ways to learn in life — they either learn from the guidance of others in educational systems, or they try to learn on their own. Most people take the educational route as they feel more reassured that someone with experience in guiding them. However, some prefer to take the other route and learn with their own experience. Nona Malone is one of those who relied on their intuition before studying to become a professional. She has so far been reaping the rewards, publishing her own cookbook titled Hello Cookbook.

Nona Malone, like most chefs, showed her passion for the culinary arts when she was young. She was influenced by watching people cook, observing how her family, restaurants, or television programs. Nona would then apply what she learned and go through trials and errors to perfect her craft.

Even as she grew older, the desire to create dishes she and others would enjoy. Nona’s career would see her become a model and later a musician. Her job saw her traveling across the country and exposing her to culinary practices from the different cultures of the people she met. While her two ventures saw her earning, she still held a great affinity for the culinary arts. Whenever she had the time, Nona would still cook for herself.

Eventually, Nona felt that it was time to pursue her passion. Fully aware that she lacked professional training, Nona enrolled at Henry Ford College in Dearborn, Michigan, to get the guidance she needed. While studying, she found her skills improving and learning about various recipes for all kinds of dishes. Upon completing her studies, Nona started taking her cooking career more seriously.

Since then, Nona Malone has gone from being a self-taught chef to a professional one. Her culinary career has taken her to great heights and has even given her the opportunities to prepare meals exclusively for celebrities. While she has achieved her dreams, Nona feels that she could do even more. She decided to take her knowledge and share it with the world by writing her own recipe cookbook. 

The cookbook is titled Hello Cookbook and contains a wide array of healthy menus of recipes. The cookbook acts as a guide for anyone looking to broaden their knife sharpening and cooking skills, whether they’re beginners eager to learn or veterans looking to expand their choice of dishes. Nona Malone takes inspiration from all the people she met who taught her new dishes or improved the ones she already learned. Hello Cookbook features American soul food, Italian, Jamaican, keto-friendly, vegetarian, and even vegan phenomenal, desserts, and breakfast ideas. 

Since releasing Hello Cookbook, it has become a New York Times bestseller, making Nona Malone the first model & musician to become a professional chef and author. Nona’s works are incomparable as the unique recipes she published are the first to be shown anywhere.
