New York (TADIAS) – Marcus Samuelsson, one of the nation’s most celebrated chefs, held a book-signing event at HSBC on 5th avenue last night, celebrating the release of New American Table. Samuelsson’s new book is ranked #1 on Amazon in the International Cookbook category. The event attracted an over-capacity crowd.

“I was born in Ethiopia and raised in Sweden, but there’s a reason why I have chosen America as the place I want to live,” Samuelsson writes in his note to readers. “With the New American Table, I celebrate both the regional American cooking that I’ve grown to know and love, and the diverse ethnic-driven cuisine I’ve found in this country. As I share my experience as an American immigrant, I pay tribute to all of the immigrant groups who have come here and shared their foods and traditions to create an exciting, thrilling, and wholly original cuisine.”

    Great! I love Marcus. Ethiopians in the Diaspora are doing interesting things. It is so different than when I used to live in the States in the 90′s. I am impressed and amazed. Keep it up!

    Seble,

    Do you mean Tamrat Layne, the former Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia?

    I know Tamrat is very handsome, but I don’t think he is as handsome as Marcus though.

    Marcus is a very creative and socially conscious chef. Even though he was born in Ethiopia and left at a very young age to Sweden and journeyed to the United States where his profession flourished. I appreciate Marcus for the way in which he respects his roots in Ethiopia, his upbringing in Sweden and and his new home in America. I am sure the New American Table will be fantastic and I can’t wait to get a copy.

    Congratulations Marcus!
