Steve Yeanish

Chef Steve Yeanish tells the warm and colorful story of his journey as a chef - from a child practicing recipes in his mother's kitchen while growing up in rural Pennsylvania, to his years at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in New York City.

Chef Steve's funny and heartwarming tale of his life-long love affair with food is interspersed with recipes from his former restaurant, the Oley Valley Inn. He tells the story of the tragic fire in 2005 which led to the eventual demise of a much-loved Berks County institution and the pride of the village of Oley.

Featured in his book are many popular Pennsylvania Dutch recipes, and the Oley Valley Inn lives on through favorites like Moravian Sugar Cake and Pumpkin Pancakes. He has also included stories of his family members and of the recipes that they passed to each other through the generations.
