Hitting the bookstores today is Memphian Jennifer Chandler‘s latest cookbook Simply Suppers, a followup to Simply Salads.

Chandler, who studied at Le Cordon Bleu and was co-owner of the much-missed prepared-foods market Cheffie’s, took the time to answer questions about Simply Suppers and her new role as spokesperson for French’s Mustard.

Your new book Simply Suppers offers no-hassle recipes, everything from your grandmother’s eggplant casserole to fish tacos and buttermilk pie. Did you have an audience in mind when putting together the book?
Yes, I did have an audience in mind. Folks like me!

Even though I’m a trained chef, I am a mom first. I deal with the same challenges of trying to put a delicious, home-cooked dinner on the table after a long day at work or an afternoon of driving the kids around.
