Longtime local food writer and chef Jennifer Chandler joined The Daily Memphian in 2024 and left the news site about a year later due to family obligations. But now she's back as a freelancer and bringing Daily Memphian readers delicious recipes as part of our long-running "Recipe Exchange" series. Since she's returned, for example, we've gotten recipes for Char's pecan pie, Alcenia's candied yams and Curb Side Casseroles' ambrosia.
Today, editorial director Mary Cashiola talks to Chandler about the best advice she has for home cooks, nostalgia dishes, the most important thing for a dinner party and what, exactly, is a tart pan.
