With four James Beard Award nominations for Best Chef: Northeast, three Cochon 555 wins, and a spot onFood & Wines 40 Big Food Thinkers 40 and Under list, Jennings is a culinary innovator known for his unexpected uses of traditional northern ingredients (maple syrup glazes a roasted duck; a molasses and cider barbecue sauce makes the perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken wings; carbonara takes on a northern slant with the addition of razor clams). With over 100 vibrant, ingredient-driven recipesincluding modern spins on New England staples like clam chowder, brown bread, and Boston cream whoopie pies, as well as beloved dishes from Jenningss award-winning restaurant, TownsmanHomegrownshines a spotlight on a trailblazing chef and pays homage to Americas oldest cuisine.
