Chef Besh will be at the Southern Living Idea House Grand Opening on Saturday, June 12 from 11:00 to 1:00 for a cookbook signing.
Besh has been named winner of the 2010 International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) Award for Best American Cookbook. He wins the prestigious award for “My New Orleans," a look at the area’s culture, history, culinary techniques and unique flavors. Besh operates six restaurants in the New Orleans area, including the lovely La Provence in Lacombe here on the Northshore. The chef, who beat Mario Batali on “Iron Chef,” battled to second place on “Top Chef Masters,” and appears often on The Food Network, also debuts a new show of his own on June 14 on TLC. Titled “Inedible to Incredible,” the show helps home cooks hone their skills. Besh also will be debuting a new PBS show based on his cookbook.
The Idea House will be open for public tours June 12- September 12, 2010, and could draw as many as 30,000 visitors from across the country. Southern Living will feature the Louisiana Idea House in the August 2010 issue of its magazine, which reaches nearly 16 million readers each month. Based in Birmingham, Ala., it is the fifth largest monthly consumer magazine in the U.S.
Tickets are $5 and available at the door. The Children’s Museum of St. Tammany, the signature project of The Junior League of Greater Covington, was chosen as the charity to benefit from a portion of admission sales. The Junior League of Greater Covington will oversee ticket sales and tours over the three months open to the public.
