Journey as an Author
\nJimmy\u2019s search for knowledge led to collecting food harvest data, to enable anticipation and capture food at its peak of flavor and nutrition. His early writings were just a personal collection of the flow of beautiful seasonal ingredients which initiated his first book, \u201cA Cook for All Seasons\u201d(Macmillan 1991). In 1996 Pocket Books released \u201cHeart Healthy Cooking for All Seasons\u201d Co-Authored with Alice Waters, Larry Forgione, and Dr. Marvin Moser, combining the best seasonal ingredients with balanced nutrition.<\/p>\n
Starting in 1991, The Detroit Free Press \/ Knight Ridder and LA Times \/ Gannet Newspapers engaged Jimmy to write weekly \u201cIn-Season\u201d food articles published in over 200 cities, for the next 15 years. The articles were compiled into two \u201cJimmy Schmidt Cooking Class\u201d books published by Detroit Free Press(1994) and Ten Speed Press(1996).<\/p>\n
Over his cooking career, Jimmy has contributed cooking articles to Bon Appetit, Cuisine, Food Arts, Gourmet, Food & Wine, Saveur and many more magazines and collaborative cookbooks.<\/p>\n
