Chef of the Month: Chef Edward G. Leonard, CMC, AAC

Chef Edward G. Leonard, CMC, AAC is the immediate past President of the American Culinary Federation and Executive Chef at the famed Westchester Country Club in Rye, New York. Chef Leonard has spent the last 25 years working in the cooking profession and is one of only 72 Certified Master Chefs in the United States.

His family is from Naples, Italy and he was taught a long time ago that we live to eat, whereas in other countries people eat to live. Good food is life, and life is good food. Chef Leonard's family plays a big role, and their support and love helps him through many tough days.

At the Johnson & Wales University graduation ceremonies in May 2005, Chef Leonard received an honorary doctorate of Culinary Arts and delivered the commencement address. Leonard said, “It is quite humbling and different to be called ‘doctor.’ The title that means most to me in my heart and soul is ‘chef.’” He urged the graduates to consider themselves artists, as the culinary arts “is one of the few crafts left that technology doesn’t have a machine for; steaks don’t fly out of the computer.”

For the Rest of the Story, great recipes and a chance to win an autographed cookbook.

Cristeta Comerford Named White House Executive Chef

Mrs. Laura Bush announced today that Cristeta "Cris" Comerford has been named the White House Executive Chef. Ms. Comerford, the first woman to serve in the position, will be responsible for designing and executing menus for state dinners, social events, holiday functions, receptions and official luncheons hosted by President and Mrs. Bush.

"I am delighted that Cris Comerford has accepted the position of White House Executive Chef," Mrs. Bush said. "Her passion for cooking can be tasted in every bite of her delicious creations."

Trained in French classical techniques and specializing in ethnic and American cuisine, Ms. Comerford has worked as an Assistant Chef in the White House kitchen since 1995. She has helped develop inventive menus that showcased American foods and wines for special White House events including the State Dinner in honor of Her Excellency, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, President of the Philippines; the Official Dinner in honor of His Excellency, Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of the Republic of India; and a social dinner in celebration of William Shakespeare's birthday.

Ms. Comerford received her bachelor's degree in Food Technology from the University of the Philippines and gained culinary experience serving as Chef Tournant at Le Ciel in Vienna, Austria; Chef at Le Grande Bistro at The Westin Hotel in Washington, D.C.; and Chef at The Colonnade at the ANA Hotel in Washington, D.C., where she implemented the "Culinary Arts Gallery" which showcased the best of American fine cuisine.

In addition, she collaborated with Chef John Ash to promote American game cooking and assisted and coordinated on the "East Meets West" promotion featuring the late Barbara Tropp. Ms. Comerford melds training received from institutions such as The Education Institute, American Hotel and Motel Association with experiences with some of the nation's most innovative chefs in the California wine country and San Francisco restaurants to produce original dishes with American flavor.
