In her quest for the best of the Keys’ recipes, best-selling author and renowned media personality Linda Gassenheimer has traveled everywhere from waterfront beach shacks to resort dining rooms. Along the way, she has collected the stories of the men and women behind the recipes – the eccentric artists and writers, the local fishermen, and the bon vivants captured by the magical atmosphere of the Keys.

It is hard to imagine more informed and entertaining dinner companions than Linda and the chefs and other local characters from the Keys that she will introduce to you.

Linda Grassenheimer is the author of the best-selling cookbook, Dinner in Minutes. She has also written ten other cookbooks, produces and hosts a weekly segment, “Food News and Views,” on WLRN National Public Radio and makes many guest appearances on numerous radio and television programs throughout the United States and Canada.
