    Jenny Lewis CCE CHE

    Jenny Lewis� passion for food, specifically sweet baked goods, began at a young age. Baking at home transformed into working at bake shops, restaurants and, eventually, fine dining establishments. Lewis earned a BA while she continued working in hotels and restaurants, with an added AAS in culinary arts�she had finally found her passion. More than twenty years in the food industry inspired Lewis to move toward teaching and writing about sweet baked goods. As a Certified Culinary Educator (CCE, American Culinary Federation), Lewis continually created new classes, prompting her to scour books appropriate for her students and personal interests. This research resulted in Lewis discovering a significant informational void. Lewis later attended an in-depth training seminar for the Chicago�s historical Prairie Avenue homes. Her interest in middle states history was piqued and Lewis was inspired to add her expertise to Midwest baking literature. As a fifth-generation Chicagoan, Lewis is honored to tell the stories of immigrants� baking traditions combined with rich company histories, as well as the lore of contemporary and historical recipes.
