Katzie Guy-Hamilton is a fantastic chef and a phenomenal human being. From the first time we met, she delighted me with her spirit \\u2014 we were introduced at a dinner party, and became instant friends! Before that, I had watched her on \\u201cTop Chef: Just Desserts\\u201d and thought, \\u201cI bet I\\u2019d be friends with her in real life.\\u201d And sure enough \\u2014 here we are!

One of my favorite things about Katzie is her determination to grow, learn and evolve. Like me, she has fought against the idea of being thoroughly defined by her \\u201cbrand\\u201d \\u2014 and she has proven that being a well-rounded, hard-working, ever-evolving human is the key to happiness.\\xa0

Her book \\u201cClean Enough: Get Back to Basics and Leave Room for Dessert\\u201d is all about confidence in the kitchen \\u2014 in both cooking and eating \\u2014 and the joy that comes from creating and devouring culinary delights that score high on both the health and happiness scales.

She has done the impossible, by proving that it\\u2019s possible to be a dessert connoisseur AND a fitness professional \\u2014 she is currently the director of food & beverage for equinox!\\xa0

Katzie is a chef and I am a broadcaster, but we have the same mission in life: spreading happiness.
