  • Chef Marcus Samuelsson
    Marcus Samuelsson believes in the power of food and community. “Food is a window into other cultures. ‘Who are you? I want to join you on your journey,’” says the chef and owner of New York City’s Red Rooster Harlem and Ginny’s Supper Club, among other eateries, and host of PBS’s new show No Passport Required. “It’s wonderful and delicious to invite someone over and tell your story through food.” And Samuelsson’s got quite the story. Born in Ethiopia, he was adopted and grew up in Sweden, where he learned to cook with his Swedish grandmother. But he was also heavily influenced by the flavors and cooking techniques of his biological father’s family. Here in the states, he’s rolled those influences and others into his own individual style, showcased at his New York CAN BOND restaurants and establishments as far-flung as London, Bermuda, and COMMUNITIES, Chicago.

  • Break Down the Barriers Between Fields
    CHAPTERthree Break Down the Barriers Between Fields SEA URCHIN LOLLIPOPS AND D ARWIN’ SFINCHES n early january of 1995, Jan Sandel, the executive I chef at the Swedish restaurant Aquavit in New York City, unexpectedly died of a heart attack. The owner, Håkan Swahn, imme- diately had to find someone to head up the kitchen. He decided to place newly hired Marcus Samuelsson in charge while he searched for a permanent replacement. But Swahn was hesitant because Samuels- son was quite young. “Our organization was big and complex, and our reputation was excellent. It is not the type of operation you just hand over to a twenty-four-year-old,” he explained. In retrospect, it may have been the best decision he ever made. At the time, Aquavit had become a well-respected Manhattan restaurant, with one star from the New York Times. But something strange started happening only weeks after Samuelsson headed up the kitchen. New dishes based on unique combinations of food from all 35 36 Creating the Medici Effect over the world began showing up on the menu. The new items, such as oysters with mango curry sorbet, didn’t always seem to make sense, but they tickled both the imagination and the palate. They were unlike any- thing the guests had ever tasted before. Only three months later Ruth Reichl of the New York Times gave the restaurant a rare three-star review because of its innovative and tasty food.1 Samuelsson was the youngest chef to have ever received such a prestigious rating. “Mr. Samuelsson’s cooking is delicate and beautiful,” she wrote.

  • Post-Blackness and Culinary Nostalgia in Marcus Samuelsson's
    Post-Blackness and Culinary Nostalgia 5 Post-Blackness and Culinary Nostalgia in Marcus Samuelsson’s Yes, Chef Badia Ahad On a recent Sunday afternoon, I found myself lying on the couch indulging in an afternoon marathon of my favorite television show, Chopped, which airs on The Food Network. I cannot explain why I take such perverse pleasure in watching the anxiety-ridden countenances of “chef-testants” upon being given a hodge-podge of four ingredients as disparate as calf’s liver, gummy bears, Swiss chard, and smoked gouda and charged with transforming them into a tasty dish in less than 20 minutes. In one particular episode, while introducing the illustrious panel of judges, host Ted Allen referred to Marcus Samuelsson as the “New Harlem Renaissance” chef.1 Naturally, I was intrigued. As a scholar of contemporary African-American literature and culture, I have been careful to stay abreast of emerging black artistic movements and trends. But the “New Harlem Renaissance” was a moniker for a seemingly localized black cultural, artistic, and apparently, culinary, rebirth of which I knew little. Ultimately, this led to an afternoon of pursuing all things Marcus Samuels- son. While doing so, I came across the November 2008 issue of Food and Wine that featured an article entitled, “The New Harlem Renaissance,” highlighting the easy friendship and culinary collaboration between Chef Marcus Samuels- son, owner of the Red Rooster restaurant, and Thelma Golden, director of the Studio Museum of Harlem. The article in Food and Wine details Golden and Samuelsson’s plans for an elaborate dinner party to celebrate the publication 0026-3079/2016/5404-005$2.50/0 American Studies, 54:4 (2016): 5–26 5 6 Badia Ahad of his then-new cookbook, The Soul of a New Cuisine, which pays homage to the African food cultures that Samuelsson believes have gone virtually ignored in Western culinary spheres.

  • ([PDF]) Yes, Chef EPUB by Marcus Samuelsson
    Overview book of Yes, Chef JAMES BEARD AWARD NOMINEE • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY VOGUE • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“One of the great culinary stories of our time.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times It begins with a simple ritual: Every Saturday afternoon, a boy who loves to cook walks to his grandmother’s house and helps her prepare a roast chicken for dinner. The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations. Yes, Chef chronicles Samuelsson’s journey, from his grandmother’s kitchen to his arrival in New York City, where his outsize talent and ambition finally come together at Aquavit, earning him a New York Times three-star rating at the age of twenty-four. But Samuelsson’s career of chasing flavors had only just begun—in the intervening years, there have been White House state dinners, career crises, reality show triumphs, and, most important, the opening of Red Rooster in Harlem. At Red Rooster, Samuelsson has fulfilled his dream of creating a truly diverse, multiracial dining room—a place where presidents rub elbows with jazz musicians, aspiring artists, and bus drivers. It is a place where an orphan from Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, living in America, can feel at home.Praise for Yes, Chef “Such an interesting life, told with touching modesty and remarkable candor.”—Ruth Reichl “Marcus Samuelsson has an incomparable story, a quiet bravery, and a lyrical and discreetly glittering style—in the kitchen and on the page.
