With Bobby Flay” and “Beat Bobby Flay,” as well as his work at his five renowned restaurants. But it turns out he has not only made a successful career for himself, but he has also helped his fellow chefs achieve their own career aspirations. Flay was just the mentor former “Top Chef” contestant Leah Cohen needed when it came time for her to write and publish her debut cookbook.
Cohen, who is the owner and chef of the popular New York City restaurant Pig & Khao, is the recipient of a StarChefs Rising Stars Award and will serve as a judge in the upcoming Discovery+ cooking competition series “Battle of the Brothers.” She has no doubt had an impressive cooking career but needed just a little bit of help when it came to launching her career as a writer. Luckily, that’s where Flay stepped in. Flay, who has written 15 cookbooks of his own, including “Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill Cookbook” and “Bobby Flay Fit,” is certainly no stranger to the publishing process, per Insider. After hearing she was interested in writing her own book, he introduced Cohen to some agents he knew, which got the process started on Cohen sealing her own cookbook deal.
