No chef in Canada is more respected for his devotion to local, seasonal, sustainable gastronomy, and his relentless pursuit to define and celebrate Canada’s unique regional culinary character, than Jamie Kennedy.

Jamie Kennedy has been at the forefront of Canada’s farm-to-table, slow food, and local food movements. In this journey, he has helped to nurture and strengthen the community of like-minded producers, chefs, and consumers, and moreover he has inspired others to join him in following this traditional, yet revolutionary, philosophy.

From the Palmerston, through his Church Street, ROM and Gardiner museum restaurants, JK has always held the same truths to be fundamental to his cooking. But beyond his fine dining clientele, he has reached out to people who, in his view, understand and deserve good, local, seasonal, delicious food; people who may have known those tastes in their youth but who have been swept up in convenience and whatever might be economically viable.

This cookbook, designed to have a similar feel to Joe Beef and other food books that focus on narrative as much as on recipes, will feature stories, photography and great recipes. Written with culinary author and foodie insider Ivy Knight, the cookbook will be as entertaining as it is informative. This one has modern classic written all over it.
