Jeff
Parker
"The
Guy In-Charge"
Determined,
talented, and ambitious, Jeff Parker founded, Food Crew,
a dynamic blend of his culinary passions – including
creating stellar food and beverage recipes, food styling
for television and print, as well as teaching and food
writing.
Like so great
chefs, Jeff’s love for cooking developed as a
kid while watching The French Chef with Julia Child
and Graham Kerr as The Galloping Gourmet. Jeff would
raid his mother’s spice cabinet and experiment
with the many herbs and spices he found, creating delicious
food with big, bold flavors. . . something that today
is still his culinary signature.
Capitalizing
on his keen awareness of food trends, Jeff opened the
country’s first low-fat restaurant and grocery
store, Fresh Start Market, in 1993 in Dallas. Featuring
food that was high quality, low fat, and had big flavor,
the venture was an immediate success and attracted international
media attention, including a segment on the fledgling
TV Food Network.
In 2003,
Jeff launched On The Range, a personalized home chef
service in Los Angeles, for busy professionals and families
who don’t have time to cook, yet want to nourish
themselves with meals that are fresh, appetizing, and
as nutritious as possible. Jeff’s flavorsome approach
to fresh, wholesome, healthful food and the importance
it has on healthy living made his service an instant
success.
Ever-evolving,
On The Range became Food Crew to encompass Jeff's growing
involvement in culinary media. His creativity and culinary
skills brought him to the attention of one of the Food
Network’s highest-rated personalities; Jeff acted
as Culinary Director for Semi-Homemade Cooking for 5
years.
Jeff
currently lives in Los Angeles pursuing studies in nutrition
and working as a freelance culinary producer, food stylist,
and writer. Check out JeffParkerCooks.com
