Early life

Career

After several years in France during which she encountered chefs Joël Robuchon and Bernard Loiseau[1], Andrea and her husband, American film director Philip Jourdan, opened their first restaurant Chez toi chez moi in Los Angeles. [2] [3] A second restaurant was opened in Montreal. [1] Her love for European cuisine sees her return to Europe, more specifically in Italy, where she hosted the tv series Mangia! Mangia! created for the American market [1] and which aired from 1996 to 1998[1] [2]. She then wrote and self-published her first cookbook in English, The Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Lucca[1] which provides several recipes with the product and details numerous olive oil producers of Lucca in Tuscany.

In 2001, Andrea Jourdan opened a gourmet grocery store in Montreal called Les Petits Plaisirs d'Andrea[3] and closed it due to unfortunate circumstances [4]. Along with TV host and actress Francine Ruel, she participated for 2 seasons (2002-2004) on the summer tv series "L'été c'est péché" (summer is a sin), where several local celebrities collaborated daily discussing aspects of each deadly sin. For author Chrystine Brouillet, chef Ian Perreault and Andrea Jourdan, the theme was gluttony [citation needed].

In 2011, Andrea Jourdan published her first cookbook in French, Spoom, Desserts envoûtants[5] which won in 2012 the prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Awards for Best Photography of cookbooks published in French Canada[6]. Followed two best-selling titles on tartares, carpaccios and pies: Tartares et Carpaccios[7] and Tartes en folie.

Since 2013, her Complètement cookbook series has been published by Éditions de l'Homme [8] and titles are e-published in English under the name Absolutely [citation needed]. The concept of each title is to propose 30 original recipes around a single subject [9]. Two of her cookbooks have won the coveted Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in 2015: Recevoir toute l'année avec Andrea (Best Entertaining cookbook - French Canada) and Le garde-manger d'Andrea (Best Easy Recipes cookbook - French Canada). [10] Andrea Jourdan is also a weekly columnist to the "Food" section (Saveurs) in the newspaper Journal de Montréal[11] [4] After closing the first gourmet shop Les Petits Plaisirs d'Andrea on Laurier Street [4], Andrea opened on March 9, 2016 a new gourmet location, Andrea Jourdan La Boutique in Jean-Talon Market, where she shares a variety of original food products imported from all over the world as well as her own unique culinary creations, amongst which her infamous FBV (fraise-basilic-vodka or strawberry basil vodka jam). [12]
