“American Comfort Food never tasted so good…So let’s Bless It UP!!!”

Meet The Devotional ChefMy culinary point of view is “American Comfort Food”. To me, American Comfort Foods are foods that invoke warmth to your tummy and soul. These are foods that say “hearty” and “naturally flavorful” food. American Comfort Food is meant to be shared with family and friends, sometimes at Sunday dinners after church at Grandma’s house. American Comfort Food recipes are a melting pot for our great food culture in the USA and include recipes from all regions of the country.

In 2003, I published the Devotional Cookbook (1st printing). I had written letters to many nationally renowned men and women of the cloth – Pope John Paul II, Billy Graham, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, etc. – asking them for their favorite recipe and for a devotional to be included with my recipes in my cookbook. The response was strong. Several of these national figures have now passed away. Today, I sincerely count their recipes and devotionals as some of my favorites in my cookbook The Devotional Cookbook.

I became interested in cooking by watching my Grandfather, who retired as a civilian cook for the Department of the Navy. As a child, he took me to his work at the Naval Hospital in Philadelphia. He was a good man and an excellent chef. I used to watch him cook and ask him so many questions. Years later, when he found out I was going to go to culinary school, he was elated. After publishing The Devotional Chef Cookbook, I was featured in a half page article in the cooking section of The Trenton Times. My Gramps saw it in the paper at the senior daycare center and commented to me about it when I visited him. Gramps, walking on a cane by now, hobbled slowly with me to the door. He turned and said “Bobby I Love You And I’m Proud Of You.” You see, I struggled at life, failing for many years to be somebody. It was not until I asked God let my Gramps see my conversion from drug addict, to preacher, to The Devotional Chef, and finally, to a successfully published author that I realized a positive change. As I walked to my car He hugged me! My Gramps was my hero, my inspiration and my best friend. He lived well into his 90s.

My Ministry is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to be blessing to whomever God allows me to minister. Rev. Lacy is married to Paula K. Lacy. They have 3 adult children and 2 lovely grandchildren. Both Reverend and Mrs. Lacy are ordained and licensed ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They serve as staff ministers in White Dove Ministries and in the evangelistic field. They currently reside in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The Devotional Chef brand was originally created to build and fund “The Gospel Kitchen” – a non-profit kitchen dedicated to feeding the hungry and ministering to families in need. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, I use food to soften hearts, nourish bodies and create relationships. My vision is to establish a men’s and family facility, a local church, a soup kitchen, a food pantry outreach and a child assistance foundation.
