Joseph Hoare Gastronomic Writer in Residence for 2012/2013
The Stratford Chefs School is delighted to announce that James Oseland, the editor-in-chief of the critically acclaimed food magazine Saveur will be the Joseph Hoare Gastronomic Writer in Residence for the 2012/2013 school year. He will be introduced to program supporters at a luncheon on November 18th, and be in residence from November 19th to 29th.
With Mr. Oseland at the helm, Saveur has won more than 25 awards, including eight James Beard awards for journalism. The magazine has also been honoured with an award for best single-topic issue from the American Society of Magazine Editors.
Additionally, Mr. Oseland is the editor of Saveur: The New Comfort Food, a cookbook published in 2011. His 2006 memoir, Cradle of Flavor recounts his time living (and eating) in Southeast Asia. The New York Times named it one of the best books of that year, and it received awards from the International Association of Culinary Professionals and the James Beard Foundation.
Mr. Oseland has appeared as a judge on Bravo’s Top Chef Masters, and has lectured at the Culinary Institute of America’s Worlds of Flavor conference.
Previously an editor at Vogue and Mademoiselle Magazines, he holds degrees in photography and film studies from the San Francisco Art Institute.
