About Cynthia Stevens Graubart

Cynthia Graubart is a food writer, James Beard Award winning cookbook author, speaker, former cooking show television producer, and most-recently the author of her 11th and 12th cookbooks, Blueberry Love, and Strawberry Love, 2021.

Named a Georgia Grown Executive Chef for 2017, she shares her passion for her home state and its bountiful produce and products with her audiences across many platforms. A frequent guest chef, private event chef, and personal chef, she brings a taste of the south to every dish she creates and serves, and joined her fellow Georgia Grown Executive Chefs to cook at the James Beard House in June 2017. She and Nathalie Dupree wrote the best-selling (and James Beard Award winning) Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking (Gibbs-Smith 2012).

After achieving her BA in Journalism at the University of Georgia, and studying for her MA at the University of Florida, Cynthia Graubart launched her television cooking show career producing Nathalie Dupree’s first national public television series New Southern Cooking. Traveling around the South, researching the crops and products of the region for the series, Cynthia continued for more than 10 years producing and consulting for television cooking programs, chefs, and well known best-selling authors. From concept to script to production to editing, Cynthia’s big-picture vision combined with her hands-on skills, creating long-lasting how-to productions. Once her children reached school age, Cynthia turned briefly to public relations, gaining valuable marketing skills that would support her future endeavors.

Leaving her television career to be a stay-at-home mom inspired her to write her first book, The One-Armed Cook: For New and Not-So-New Moms (Meredith Books 2004) based on her experience doing everything with a baby on her hip. Co-authored with Catherine Fliegel, the two became founding food editors of Nickelodeon’s parenting portal ParentsConnect. Writing for parenting magazines, speaking to parents around the country, and teaching cooking classes inspired them to help families struggling to make mealtime a reality in their lives.

Cynthia Graubart is passionate about food – from researching its origins, writing recipes, teaching technique, to bringing families together at the table. She is a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) and has spoken at its annual conference and is a member of Les Dames d’Escoffier (LDEI).

Chicken: a Savor the South cookbook (Savor the South Cookbooks) 26/08/2016

by Cynthia Graubart

( 16 )

$19.66

While fried chicken may be the South's iconic dish, when it comes to southern foodways, there are a lot of ways to love America's most popular fowl. Preparations range from Country Captain to Carolina Chicken Bog to Chicken and Parslied Dumplings and more. Here, Cynthia Graubart celebrates the bird in all its glory, southern style and beyond. This little cookbook packs all the know-how that cooks need to make irresistible chicken dishes for everyday and special occasions, from shopping and selecting to cutting up, frying, braising, roasting, and much more. Ranging in style from traditional southern to contemporary to international, fifty-three recipes are organized to help easily match the cut of chicken to the perfect recipe. Be assured that Graubart includes instructions for making the best fried chicken ever--seven different ways.

Graubart also brings together the chicken's culinary history with the popular culture and lore that surrounds chicken cookery in the South. She notes that the special Sunday Sabbath dinner was often built around a chicken--in fact, prior to the 1940s, chicken was sometimes more expensive than beef or pork. Today, the southern states lead the country in annual poultry production, and Kentucky Fried Chicken features throughout the American landscape. But you won't need take-out when you have Chicken in your kitchen.

Mastering the Art of Southern Vegetables 25/01/2015

by Nathalie Dupree, Cynthia Graubart, Rick McKee

( 17 )

$23.37

The authors of the James Beard Award-winning Mastering the Art of Southern Cooking serve up side dishes with vegetables taking center stage.

Building on their reputation as James Beard Award winners, Dupree and Graubart have excerpted their best vegetable recipes (plus added some new ones) in this timely collection. Organized alphabetically by vegetable, each section begins with instructions on how to prepare and cook the vegetable and is followed by favorite new and classic recipes. Also included are a selection of vinaigrettes and sauces, plus a roasting chart for an array of vegetables.

“Those like me who aren’t full-time vegetarians but definitely eat more greens than meat will love the 120 recipes in this book, each of which takes advantage of vegetables native to the South . . . All in all, I was quite impressed with Mastering the Art of Southern Vegetables. It caters to a good variety of cooking expertises, offering simple recipes that are perfect for an everyday dinner as well as more complex ones for the experienced cook looking to change up their veggie repertoire. Many recipes are perfect for families where not everyone eats meat, as they are savory enough to stand in for a meat main and flavorful and interesting enough to convert veggie skeptics.” —Organic Authority

“An excellent cookbook for the less experienced cook looking for useful information on vegetables and on how to cook them . . . presented with a bit of southern flair.” —Portland Book Review
