Anne Burrell

Charitable Chef

With her rock-star-like personality, Anne Burrell has used her celebrity chef status to raise awareness about Type 1 diabetes research in honor of her nephew, who was diagnosed at an early age. She supports the diabetes community as an ambassador for JDRF through charity events and social media. Interested in food and cooking at an early age, Burrell started her culinary career in New York City, working at some of the top restaurants, including Lidia Bastianich’s award-winning Italian restaurant Felidia. Burrell, author of several best-selling cookbooks, is currently the host of three Food Network shows: Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, Chef Wanted and Worst Cooks in America. In 2017, she opened her first restaurant—Phil & Anne’s Good Time Lounge—with her long-time friend Phil Casaceli in the Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. Burrell says the holiday season is a treasured time of the year. In honor of the upcoming holiday feast, Burrell shares her favorite Big Brined Herby Turkey recipe.
