Recent PostsThe eggnog is done. Now it is time to prepare for my big catering event -my daughter Isabella’s 13th birthday party. We are having 15 kids over to watch a movie outside. She has requested a “make your own taco bar”. She reminded me to have the ...
My mother used to make a big vat of eggnog every year. That was my first introduction to that brown magical sphere called nutmeg. She would have it lying out on a plate with a grater so one could grate the amount of nutmeg on top that they desired. I...
Thanksgiving is so full of great memories of loved ones hanging out together, eating and laughing. From when I was a child and my mom would cook five times the amount of food we needed to the days of my great friends being the “family” we spent T...
As a spokesperson for the American Egg Farmers I dedicate each Tuesday to blogging about eggs. Today I am making an olive oil fried egg. I love this recipe because it is quick, easy and incorporates three simple ingredients that you can have in the h...
Usually when I refer to myself as the “spice smuggler” it is in reference to the amazing depth and flavor spices (not spicy) can give to a dish. In this case it IS all about the heat! This fresh margarita was a signature drink at my first restaur...
I am not a big fan of turkey but I am a big fan of how it brings everyone together at one table to enjoy food, wine and the beginning of the holiday season. I am always trying to find new ways to bring my turkey to new heights. I am really excited ab...

mariam mirzaJeffery, i am such a huge fan of your's! i am soo sad you didnt win the show, but u were my number one choice! i miss watching u! and u r soo cute!! :) please don't dissapear, i would love to look at your own show on the tv some day!
FranYou are AWSOME. You make the food come alive and I know OUR dreams are going to come true and very soon we will see you on tv making us all hungry for your amazing dishes.
AdamLoved watching you on NFNS. I hope you get your own show and if so, I'll definitely be watching.
rexhi jeffrey .. your ideas, presentation and charisma shine. the ingredient smuggler was a genius concept. (like u i've hauled the bags of mild and hot paprika back to california from budapest). the harissa was great to learn about. although i could appreciate the merits of your final competitor, i believe FN lost a golden opportunity ... if i had a network, i'd make u a prime time big bucks offer!
open invitation: come to my house and create a dish anytime.
: ) best wishes in your future endeavors.
Jean GreeneJeffrey, so glad to find your blog here, so the learning continues. Fine Living Network may be a good place for your show! i love the FN, but they made a huge mistake in letting you go. i love Melissa, too, and i will learn a few things from her, but you are doing what so many of us want to learn and enjoy. all the best! will be looking for you on tv somewhere
GerryJeff,
Your concept is so great!
We can't believe that they picked a 1960's cookbook Sarah Moulton clone over you.
We want more harissa and every spice you can smuggle!
Get picked up by a local or superstation. We will be there for you bud.

PatJeffrey, you rock buddy! You were the best and what a great person you are. Love to follow your future work. Keep us posted my friend.
KATEI too hope you get your own show. I liked you both and think it should have been a tie. I think both shows would be a hit for different reasons.
Good luck!!
JillJaw-droppingly amazing that you did not win last night, especially with your pilot idea. That is EXACTLY what I was hoping FN would produce - someone who actually teaches me about different flavors and how to cook them in everyday meals. I'll keep up with you throught the blog, now that I've found it. Best of luck to you and thank you for making NFNS fun to watch this season.
eveThis is part of what I posted on Bob's blog on FN:
I still hope Jeffrey has a show somewhere. So many shows that I love on FN and yet no one on all of Food Network has ever made me want to try their recipe as much as Jeffrey has. My mouth waters thinking of the scallops last week or all the flavors packed into that sandwich this week.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you let Jeffrey’s star shine on FN, too.
I hope you get a show on FN or another network.
Felice VigilGlad to find your blog too. I do hope the Food Network will find a way for you to have a show. I would have loved to have learned from you. Keep trying!
shaunahi jeffrey, you were robbed, you have a fan base.
everybody wanted you to win but Bob has crush on Melissa.
You make cooking with new ingredients fun. DONT GIVE UP, and walk with your head high! I will not watch until I read that you got a show.

I was so very disappointed to see you were not chosen Next Food Network Star ....... I totally enjoyed watching you each and every week and think you have far more talent, sincerity, depth and knowledge than the person the judges chose........what a shame they did not let the viewers choose their favorite from the show...Continue with your passion and hope that life brings you many wonderful rewards in the future,
Yours Sincerely
