In case you missed this comment from co-author Eli Sussman, don’t miss some terrific events this weekend in Southeast Michigan.
I want to let you know about the new cookbook “Freshman in the Kitchen: From Clueless Cook to Creative Chef” that my brother Max and I recently published through Ann Arbor’s Huron River Press. The book is available now and we will be having a huge kickoff weekend filled with events starting this Friday August 22nd. My brother and I were born and raised in Huntington Woods where our parents still live. My brother went to U of M and still lives in Ann Arbor. I went to Michigan State and recently moved to Los Angeles.
The cookbook is geared toward people that don’t know about cooking but want to learn more. We want to demystify cooking so we created an easy to follow, step by step cookbook that is really a teaching tool so that those who use the book can grow to become a creative chef. The chapters become more challenging as they progress and the cookbook answers all the questions a new cook wants to ask about how to grocery shop, buy produce, use a grill and cook their boyfriend or girlfriend dinner. In our book we talk about learning and growing as cooks while working in Michigan at various stages of our cooking careers.
My brother is currently a chef in Ann Arbor Michigan and recently returned from Chile where he was a chef at a fishing resort in Chilean Patagonia. In Los Angeles I work for a music ad agency. I also moonlight as a chef for two catering companies.
The goal of the book is to create an accessible teaching tool to engage people so they become comfortable with cooking. Since my brother is 25 and I am 23, we can easily connect to a wide range of ages and can speak to a younger audience that many cookbooks overlook.
Starting on August 22nd we have a book release weekend in Michigan with 3 great events. We will be having book signings in Oak Park, Lexington and Ann Arbor. We also will be appearing on WDET’s Detroit Today show on Friday.
