Author: Born in Hartford, CT, Jeremiah Knight brings a rich heritage of African American and Caribbean roots to the global culinary stage. A graduate of Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, he further expanded his international perspective through studies at the University of Westminster in London, England, and earned his master’s degree from the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy/International Affairs.

As a U.S. diplomat, Jeremiah has worked across five continents, immersing himself in diverse cultures and cuisines while shaping U.S. foreign policy. His passion for global flavors has led to a celebrated nine-year tenure as the author of A World of Flavors, a popular column in Manjar Magazine (Dominican Republic), where he shares the vibrant recipes and culinary traditions he has encountered throughout his travels.

Now, in Diplomat in the Kitchen, Jeremiah invites you on a culinary journey across every continent, blending his diplomatic experiences with his love for food. This cookbook is more than a collection of recipes—it’s a passport to the world’s flavors, bringing together dishes that tell the stories of culture, history, and the universal language of food.
