Chefs Jewels and Jill Elmore recipe book The Family Chef

Jewels and Jill Elmore grew up cooking and eating in their large family’s Mexican-American kitchen. They began their culinary careers together catering for Hollywood parties, premiers and the Academy Awards Governor’s Ball. But it didn’t take them long to find their way back to their favorite place to cook, the family kitchen, where they eventually learned to prepare foods from all over the world. As Family Chefs they have spent most of their time cooking in the homes of Jennifer Aniston, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, and many other celebrities. They believe that connecting with the people they cook for produces the most extraordinary meals and experiences around the table. Just as it did when they were kids, the connection they share with each other, as sisters, colors everything they do and every meal they make. Their favorite way to cook is still side by side. Today, Jewels and Jill live close to each other in Santa Monica with their husbands and young sons.
