Local Chef Tara Triefenbach Announces the Launch of Her Debut Book

Frankfort, IL — Acclaimed personal chef Tara Triefenbach released her highly anticipated debut book, The Journal of a Personal Chef, on April 15. This insightful and inspring book offers readers a rare glimpse into the world of a personal chef, blending personal stories, industry insights, and culinary expertise.

With years of experience crafting customized meals for private clients, Chef Tara shares the
triumphs, challenges, and lessons learned from working in intimate kitchen settings. From
curating personalized menus to balancing the demands of running a business, The Journal of a
Personal Chef is both a memoir and a guide, perfect for aspiring chefs, food lovers, and anyone
curious about the art of private dining.

In addition to the book, Chef Tara has launched a signature line of six handcrafted spice
blends, inspired by her experience as a personal chef. Designed to elevate everyday cooking,
these blends bring the flavors and techniques of a professional kitchen into home kitchens across
the country. Each blend reflects her passion for fresh, bold flavors and simple, high-quality
ingredients.

"Cooking is more than just making meals—it’s about creating experiences"; says Chef Tara.
"This book is my way of sharing the journey, the passion, and the hard-earned lessons that come
with cooking for others. My spice blends are an extension of that, helping home cooks bring
restaurant-quality flavors to their own tables."

The Journal of a Personal Chef will be available for purchase through major booksellers, online
retailers, and at www.cookingtara.com. Chef Tara’s spice blends are also available for order
online and at Eckert’s Country Store and Farms in Belleville, IL and Brookhaven Market in
