Chef Jesse Author Book Launch, Tasting & Author Talk

Chef Jesse Author Book Launch, Tasting & Author Talk
Saturday, December 16 3:30 pm Main Library
Special guest appearance by award-winning cookbook author Linda Eckhardt.

Chef Jesse Jones and Linda Eckhardt are proud to announce their new cookbook-memoir which offers 40 of Chef Jesse’s favorite feasts, along with the story of his life.
Chef Jesse Jones’s story is honest and heartfelt as he describes how the kitchen saved him from the streets. When he used his hard-won French technique to make Southern fried chicken, then served it alongside his sweet potato waffles, all his diners could say was POW!
Chef Jesse is a gifted American chef who has owned his own restaurant, cooked in five-star restaurants, and cheffed for celebrities. He gives himself to charity events, to teaching kids to cook, and to encouraging everybody to get in the kitchen and cook.
“It’s the actual celebration of Chef Jesse’s way of life…through delicious food. We are all so fortunate to take a peek into the life of one of America’s finest chefs and, more importantly, to share a little of his bon vivant personality.” -Thomas Griffiths, CMC, Campbell’s Global Culinary Institute
