Jobs We Love: Andrew Hetzel
As a professional coffee taster, it's no surprise that Andrew Hetzel can't sit still: he spends up to 200 days traveling the world to sample various types of joe. And when he's not en route to an emerging producer, he writes. A lot. (Good thing he has all that coffee for late night paperwork.) Click here to learn more about his business of the bean.
Reel Food: JBF Award Winner Charlie Palmer on the Early Show
Right on the heels of Alfred Portale, chef and restaurateur extraordinaire Charlie Palmer stopped by the CBS studios this morning to offer his tips on cooking pork.

When we saw this Chicago Tribune article about mail-order foods from monasteries and convents, we knew we should report on two books recently published by JBF members: A Taste of Heaven by Madeline Scherb and Heavenly Feasts by Marcia Kelley. Scherb and Kelley have traveled the globe to taste countless heaven-approved treats, and now they've generously shared their findings with the rest of us. Read on to learn more about the authors and the fascinating foods they unearthed.
Recipe: Butterscotch Pudding with Molasses Crisps and Black Pepper Whipped Cream
Since we’ve already given you a sneak peek of Alfred Portale’s mouthwatering ravioli from tomorrow night’s menu, why not treat yourself to a little dessert as well? Gale Gand will be serving this creamy butterscotch pudding as the close to our American Icons dinner. If you don’t have a seat, you’ll want to make this one at home.
The molasses crisps provide a great textural contrast to the not too sweet pudding. The finishing touch? Black pepper whipped cream cuts the richness and rounds out this delicious dessert.

On the eve of our annual gala auction and dinner, we're excited to share this short video of some lucky folks enjoying one of the live auction packages auctioned off at last year's event.
