Jennifer Chandler

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.

Bittersweet is the word that comes to mind as I write this column.

As of Friday, April 11, I am stepping away from my position as The Daily Memphian’s food and restaurant writer. 

Being a full-time food and restaurant reporter in Memphis for the past seven years has been a highlight of my career. It has been a true honor to write about and share the stories of the talented people working in the food industry here in my hometown.
