Books and Television

Chef Charlie Trotter is the author of several cookbooks. The restaurant series provides a glimpse into his award-winning restaurant and documents its culinary history. Included in this collection are Charlie Trotter’s, Charlie Trotter’s Vegetables, Charlie Trotter’s Seafood, Charlie Trotter’s Desserts, and the most recent addition, Charlie Trotter’s Meat and Game. The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter is the companion book to Chef Trotter’s cooking show of the same name.

Two cookbooks, which do not follow either the format of the restaurant series cookbooks or the improvisational Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter are Gourmet Cooking for Dummies and Charlie Trotter Cooks at Home. The former serves as an excellent introduction to gourmet food preparation, and the latter is a collection of easy to prepare recipes from Chef Trotter’s own favorite home recipes. Please visit the online store to learn more about any of Chef Trotter’s cookbooks.

Charlie Trotter will be launching the fourth season of his nationally aired cooking show, The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter , on PBS.  Awarded the Best National Television Cooking Showéby the James Beard Foundation. The fourth season promises to be a delightful divergence from the first three, while remaining true to the same jazz session motif. Starting out with time-honored traditions and adding improvisation and personal expression along the way, Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter continues to provide the home chef with invaluable culinary lessons and insights.

Chef Trotter’s books are available for purchase from our online store.
