Hailed on both coasts for his role in pioneering the New American cuisine, chef Jonathan Waxman brought relaxed California cooking East. A master of putting together deceptively simple yet unexpected flavor combinations, Waxman produces sensational food with attention to a seasonal menu and a minimum of fuss. Always the showman, he made my Gourmet magazine shoot fun and entertaining by posing for a portrait with a monstrous fish which he later cooked. Thrilled by the results of the story Waxman asked me to recommend a photographer for his upcoming cookbook project.
