Whitney Miller Returns for a Mississippi Blues Class

Whitney Miller is no stranger to the Epicurean Theatre or the spotlight. This southern belle visited the Epicurean Theatre last year and produced an amazing cooking class and a fun book signing! Good news, she’s back by popular demand to showcase some of her favorite blueberry recipes in partnership with the Epicurean Hotel and Wish Farms.

For those of you that don’t know, Whitney has southern roots as well as international culinary experience. All of her home-cooked recipes are exciting, accessible and “company-worthy.” Her 97 year-old great-grandmother and her mother inspired her to begin cooking at an early age. At twenty two, Whitney won the show “Masterchef,” gaining the title of Fox’s first U.S. Masterchef. Soon afterward, Whitney obtained her degree, with an emphasis in nutrition, from the University of Southern Mississippi.

Her cookbook, Modern Hospitality: Simple Recipes with Southern Charm, with foreword by Gordon Ramsay, and most recently, Whitney Miller’s New Southern Table. Her recipes have also been featured in the Masterchef and Ultimate Materchefcookbooks. She is a food writer for magazines including; Flavors (Atlanta), Taste of Home, Southern Living, andEat. Drink. Mississippi. Her recipes, articles, and book promotions have appeared in People, Women’s Health, Masterchef,Clean Eating, Southern Living, and Cooking Light magazines as well as online at Self, California Olive Ranch, SousVide Supreme.com, and Tervis.com.
