To know me is to love me. I, Cheryl Mayfield Brown, am a very dynamic woman, brimming with drive, charisma and lots of sex appeal. I am the CEO of the top, international wedding consultant firm, Twice is Nice Encore Bridal Creations, catering to couples planning second or third weddings. My experiences include my very own second marriage, and thousands of others inspired me to publish in April 2004, COOK'N TO KEEP HIM: Make Your Relationship Sweeter, Passionate and More Delicious. My numerous clients asked me the same question: Can you please tell me the secret to a Happy Marriage?” My advice to make a home a nonstop shop and create excitement in your love life helped me sell over 4,000 copies of this book. In doing so, I have established a strong platform to launch the new and expanded version of my experiences. Advice and recipes. Considered an expert on keeping a husband happy, my vision and expertise has been featured in USA Today, The New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Charlotte Observer, The Chicago Tribune, NBC TV, numerous syndicated radio shows, including Mitch Albom Show, BBC radio programs in London , England .

My choice of cook'n rather than cooking, exemplifies hands – on, vibrant and exuberant passion for the subject. This authencity and my simple way of getting back to basics relationships helped me earn place of honor at the 2004 Milwaukee Black Festival of Books, and 1 st place winner of the LABBE national award for the best cookbook in 2005.

I am happily married and I currently live in Charlotte , North Carolina .
