Renowned Celebrity Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten

Though Jean-Georges Vongerichten is one of the world's most famous chefs, his skills extend far beyond the kitchen. A savvy businessman and formidable restaurateur, Jean-Georges is responsible for the operation and success of a constellation of three- and four-star restaurants in the United States, United Kingdom and Shanghai.

Jean-Georges has published numerous cookbooks reflecting his influential style of cooking, including Simple Cuisine (Wiley, 1990), Cooking at Home with a Four Star Chef (Broadway Books, 1998), for which he won the Best Cookbook Award from the James Beard Foundation in 1999, and Simple to Spectacular (Broadway Books, 2000). In October 2007, he released Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges, featuring beloved recipes from his restaurants Spice Market and Vong.

Jean-Georges is the Chef in Residence for CITY magazine, and Master Cook for Food & Wine magazine. He has appeared on Live! With Regis and Kelly, the Today Show, Good Morning America, Martha Stewart Living, Everyday Elegance with Colin Cowie, The Early Show on CBS, and TV Food Network, and in the 1995 PBS series In Julia's Kitchen with Master Chefs.
