Jim Coleman: Philadelphia's Shining Star
Move over, Emeril. Here comes Jim Coleman. Built like the football player he once was, with an exuberant, down-home approach to food and cooking, a genuine desire that everyone try and enjoy his recipes, author of two cookbooks, and host of his own NPR radio and PBS television shows, Coleman is poised to be the culinary world's next major celebrity.
As Executive Chef at Philadelphia's exclusive Rittenhouse Hotel, Coleman oversees a staff of 110 who prepare meals for the hotel's four restaurants, banqueting operations, and room service. His first cookbook, "The Rittenhouse Cookbook," is lavishly illustrated volume with heart-healthy recipes served in Treetops, the hotel's premier restaurant. The newest book, "Flavors of America," is the companion to his PBS series. With sidebar stories about the origins of the recipes and ingredients and the chefs who joined him on his show, it's as much fun to read as it is to cook from. A weekly live radio show on NPR, "The Chef's Corner," brings Coleman and his roster of guest chefs and other food experts into kitchen in an intimate way.
