A cookbook author and former restaurateur, Jennifer Chandler has been writing about food and dining for more than 25 years.
She is the author of four cookbooks: “The Southern Pantry Cookbook,” “Simply Salads,” “Simply Suppers,” and “Simply Grilling.” While she boasts a degree from Le Cordon Bleu, this Memphis native is about making real food accessible for real families.
I remember the first time I met Shari Haley. It was almost a decade ago at Wilson Cafe in Wilson, Arkansas.
At the time, she and her former husband were running the new restaurant in this revitalized Delta cotton town. News of their delicious and creative Southern fare had made its way to Memphis, so I headed there to try it out. The one thing I vividly remember was a friend saying, “Be sure to try the pie!”
I did and was grateful for the recommendation.
