About

Bob Johndrow enjoys cooking and boating. He combines years of restaurant industry experience cooking, catering, and entertaining, along with organizational skills necessary to create recipes that are flavorful, yet simple enough to be prepared in a tiny galley kitchen.

He found he was interested in cooking at a young age. Many family gatherings involved large groups enjoying home-cooked meals, and many other memorable occasions that involved great food. Bob often helped with the many tasks involved in feeding a large extended family.

It was summers spent with his grandparents in St. Louis where he began to experience the passion of combining fresh herbs and bounty from the garden to create food that would leave a lasting impression igniting the culinary senses.

Bob took every opportunity to experiment while cooking with friends and relatives and has always taken great pleasure in entertaining small groups.  During culinary school, he was accepted into the American Culinary Federation’s chef apprentice program, where he trained in several kitchens to complete the program. Bob’s internship involved writing in the food section of two local newspapers; he then began writing food articles and restaurant reviews.  He has worked in the restaurant industry for over thirty years as a cook, chef, writer, and marketing director.

His food styling and food photos have been featured in cookbooks, newspapers, magazines, corporate food service, catering, and restaurant websites.

In August, 2019 Bob’s cookbook, BOAT COOKING AND ENTERTAINING was published by Mill City Press. To learn more, or to purchase the book visit www.boatcooking.com.
