Omari describes the book as a ‘huge accomplishment’ as he believes it achieves his mission ‘to bring people together through food without harming animals’. 

 

“But I’m also proving to myself and others that anything is possible,” he told his followers. 

 

 

“I was labelled as dyslexic and told that I wasn’t bright enough to do my SATs. My mum wasn’t having that [so] she registered me as homeschooled and we went hard because she believed in me. 

 

“Now look, I’m the author of my own cookbook Omari McQueen Best Bites. It took a lot of hard work, grammar and spellchecks. I have my own show on CBBC; I have been acknowledged around the world and supported by all you amazing people.”
