The Well-Seasoned Librarian: Mixing Cookbooks and Conversation

Bio: Born in Versailles, France, close to the famous chateau of King Louis XIV, Emmanuel Laroche grew up savoring the best food and drink that France offers, eventually earning him the American nickname: “Champagne Charlie.” His mother taught him to cook when he was six, starting with a simple yogurt cake, and moving on to Lorraine quiche, from the region his mother grew up. He married a woman who also loved to cook, and during the first four years of their marriage, they never ate the same dish twice!

In 2002 he moved to the United States for his role as VP of Marketing with Symrise North America—a global manufacturer of flavors for the food and beverage industry. He now has more than twenty years of experience in the food and beverage industry, both in Europe and in the US.

Through his job, Emmanuel has access to a variety of acclaimed people in the food industry.

Since 2008, he has attended the yearly StarChefs Congress in New York City. In 2015, Emmanuel developed an exclusive partnership with StarChefs for Symrise and began moderating panel discussions with successful chefs, pastry chefs, and mixologists. In 2018, Emmanuel launched a personal podcast called Flavors Unknown, featuring a series of conversations with trending and award-winning chefs, pastry chefs, and mixologists from around the United States. Emmanuel currently resides in New Jersey, which acts as a home base for his travels around the country, conducting tastings, lectures and presentations on food and consumer trends.

Bio: About Theresa Carle-Sanders

Outlander Kitchen was born in early 2010, on a walk in the woods with the dog. A scene from Voyager popped spontaneously into my head, where, several characters share a plate of rolls filled with minced pigeon and truffles.

Outlander Kitchen: The Official Outlander Companion Cookbook was published in 2016 by Delacorte Press of Penguin Random House. Outlander Kitchen - To the New World and Back Again: The Second Official Outlander Companion Cookbook was published in 2020.

Writing a fictional cookbook begins with reading. In the case of my next project, Castle Rock Kitchen, Stephen King’s library kept me busy reading for six months solid and then, intermittently, for another two years while the project came together.

Born and raised on the opposite coast, in Vancouver, BC, Canada, I must confess that I’ve been to Maine only once, in 2008, a year after the death of my father. I joined a silent retreat where I gave myself the space to look forward after months of remembrance and grief. The six days I spent southwest of Bangor changed my life.

Fourteen years on, I am the author of two Outlander Kitchen cookbooks, and have completed this, my third fiction-inspired collection of recipes.
