Jennifer Hill Booker with Your Resident Gourmet

00:00 /

Southern-born, Jennifer Hill Booker traveled to Paris to study French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts only to discover that rustic French and Southern dishes use many of the same ingredients. Jennifer used this as the basis for culinary exploration in her second cookbook, Dinner Déjà Vu: Southern Tonight, French Tomorrow.

The author of Field Peas to Foie Gras: Southern Recipes with a French Accent uses one list of fresh ingredients to create two meals, one Southern and one French in her latest cookbook, resulting in less food waste and fewer trips to the market. Combined grocery lists also provide time-saving tools for recipes from cocktails to desserts and everything in between, drawing on the strengths of both regions makes recipes like Southern Berry Bramble Cocktail, Brown Butter Banana Pound Cake with Crème Anglaise, and Pimento Cheese Stuffed Deviled Eggs both approachable and delicious. A charming personality, she is also a mother of two who knows exactly what it takes to create enticing meals with limited time and ingredients.

Chef Jennifer’s culinary path has not always been a linear one. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Tulsa; eighteen months later graduated first in her class with an Associate of Occupational Science from Oklahoma State Institute of Technology. Extensive travel while married to a United States Army Officer pushed Jennifer to blaze a trail that fit her unique situation-a female African American chef, living abroad.

As a result, her first culinary company Your Resident Gourmet was born. During her time living in Germany, Jennifer honed her culinary talents by providing cooking classes for both military and German families. She was also able to fulfill a lifelong dream of attending Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Paris, where she proudly graduated top of her class. Twenty years later Jennifer finds herself once again blazing culinary trails as she wears many culinary hats as chef, reality TV personality, culinary educator, business owner and cookbook author.

She is an Impact Fellow with the James Beard Foundation, a Georgia Grown Executive Chef for the GA Department of Agriculture, the Culinary Explorer for the Georgia Department of Tourism and Travel, and is the founder of Cast Iron Chronicles dinner series. Chef Jennifer is an active member of the prestigious Atlanta chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier International, a member of SlowFood-Atlanta and of Atlanta’s No Kid Hungry Atlanta Society. Chef Jennifer currently sits on the James Beard Foundation Scholarship Committee.

BRX Pro Tip: Don’t Beat Yourself

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you, Lee, as you know, my father was a high school basketball coach. And I remember, he would always say, “Stone, don’t beat yourself.” And you have some similar counsel along those lines in the business world, don’t you?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:20] Yeah. I think, a lot of times, people become their own gatekeeper. They’re the ones getting in the way of themselves, they’re self-sabotaging or they’re self-selecting out. And that’s, a lot of the time, because of fear. They don’t think they’re good enough. They don’t think that they know enough.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:36] And I think that most business people, business leaders, or entrepreneurs should not be talking themselves out of taking an action. They’ve got to trust themselves. They’re good enough. They don’t need one more credential or one more degree. They deserve the success that they’re on the brink of getting. Business is hard enough. You don’t have to get in your own way. So, my recommendation is trust yourself, you’re good enough, go boldly forward.
