New York (TADIAS) — If you reside in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area here is your chance to listen to Marcus Samuelsson and get a signed copy of his latest book “Marcus Off Duty: The Recipes I Cook at Home.” The Ethiopian-born, award-wining celebrity chef and author will make an appearance on November 13th at Sixth & I, where he is scheduled to hold a conversation with Joe Yonan, the Food and Travel editor of The Washington Post.
The New York Times notes that Marcus Off Duty is mostly “inspired by his travels across America.” Samuelsson and his wife, Ethiopian model Maya Haile, are the faces of the new generation of foreign-born Africans (described in the recent U.S. census) who are leaving their imprints in the continuously evolving American tapestry, which is also reflected in Samuelsson’s book, a collection of 150 multicultural dishes that he cooks at home for family and friends.
“Born in Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, and trained in European kitchens, Marcus is a five-time James Beard Award recipient and was selected as chef for the Obama Administration’s first state dinner. His acclaimed restaurants include Red Rooster Harlem, Ginny’s Supper Club and American Table Cafe & Bar at Lincoln Center. He is the author of Aquavit, The Soul of a New Cuisine, New American Table, and his best-selling memoir Yes, Chef.”
