"Holly Herrick comes to South Carolina State University"

"As a child, I loved cooking from our garden with my Nanna, but decided I wanted to be a journalist when I grew up," says Holly.

Holly talked about how being an of a cookbook was never a dream of hers as a child. She thought of cooking as being something that was fun that her and her grandmother enjoyed doing together. Holly had a love for writing and creating blogs as well, she graduated from Boston College after studying journalism. But somehow after graduating college she still found love in food and soon went off to Paris to study Cuisine and Pastry at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France. After graduating from school in Paris Holly went on to travel the world. As she traveled she was still creating recipes for her cookbooks. She currently has seven cookbooks out and published.

"I use classical technique explained in simple, easy to apply ways and dishes that everyone would love," says Herrick.

Holly talks about how the recipes she creates are very simple and if the meals are prepared correctly she guarantees that they all are very delicious. She talked about how the meals don't always come out perfect and she has to start over until everything is right. Her blog is how she reaches out to her buyers because she tries to attract her audience by providing them with the most creativity and most information as possible. Sound like a pretty busy lady, right? But somehow she still manages to live and enjoy life.

"I appreciate all of my blessings and the places, people and things," say Herrick.  Holly is in love with cooking, writing, walking, and swimming. These are just some of the activities that Holly enjoys. She doesn't have any kids but she has a dog named Tan, and cat Chutney, that are considered as her children. Holly lives in Charleston and enjoys it, if not found in the kitchen she's usually reading a good book or taking a nap.

"Happy Cooking!"
