JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHER’S DAY, PERSONAL CHEF AND TV PERSONALITY RELEASES COOKBOOK IN HONOR OF HER MOTHER 

Charlotte, NC (March 29, 2021) – Debut author, personal chef, and cooking personality, Jill Aker-Ray shares how recipes can mean more than just food in her tribute cookbook memoir, Tutu’s Table, with Warren Publishing. Inspired by her mom, nicknamed “Tutu,” Aker-Ray writes a cookbook that crosses generational boundaries as she writes for her daughter, herself, and in remembrance of her mother. Sharing her joy in what might often be seen as a mundane task–food preparation–Aker-Ray encourages those new to cooking to find inspiration and enjoy it. 

With each recipe, Aker-Ray includes a short story that “connects the recipe’s author–her mom–and the specific memory associated with the meal and celebration. Food can bring people together and create memories with the people enjoying it.” By sharing her own experiences with cooking, Aker-Ray shows how relationships can be fostered through food–whether through its preparation or its consumption. Aker-Ray wants her recipes to “invoke memories and connection to people’s own family recipes and special times together.” 

Aker-Ray adds that she “simply loves to take care of people through food and special celebrations” by following in her mother’s footsteps, and she hopes her readers are able to do the same thing. With food as her family’s love language, Aker-Ray’s collection of recipes and stories illustrates how

love and hospitality are shown through each meal we cook. Organized by season and with celebrations in mind, each menu will help readers create memories throughout the year. Cooking has allowed Aker-Ray to forge strong relationships and care for the people around her. In the hopes that others will understand the same thing, Aker-Ray shares how food and family have shaped her life. 

Tutu’s Table can be ordered on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, warrenpublishing.net, and requested wherever books are sold. For media interviews and author appearances, contact Mindy Kuhn at (704) 900-0236, warrenpublish@gmail.com, or visit http://www.warrenpublishing.net/.
