SANTA BARBARA, CA – Culinary star Chef Ryan Rondeno lit up the Santa Barbara Food Festival this weekend, where crowds flocked to his booth not only to taste his signature Creole-California creations but to pepper him with questions about the long list of celebrities he’s cooked for — from Ashton Kutcher and Will Smith to Ben Affleck and beyond.
Fans were also eager to get the inside scoop on his highly anticipated new cookbook, My Creole Cali Kitchen, set to hit retail shelves nationwide on July 8th. The book blends Rondeno’s Louisiana roots with his West Coast finesse, offering recipes that are as soulful as they are sun-kissed.
“My cooking is all about stories — every dish is a little piece of home, a memory, or an experience I’ve shared with people across the world,” said Rondeno, smiling as fans lined up for photos and advice.
Just last week, Epicurious spotlighted My Creole Cali Kitchen on its coveted list of the Top 16 Cookbooks for the Summer, alongside works by Michelin-starred masters and household names. The article praised Rondeno’s book for its “vibrant flavors and stunning ease that make gourmet feel totally doable at home.”
Beyond his festival appearance and new book, Chef Rondeno continues to shape modern dining through his Rondeno Culinary Designs brand and his innovative — a platform that connects food lovers to exclusive recipes, cooking classes, and behind-the-scenes stories from his kitchen and travels.
As fans eagerly await the July 8th release of My Creole Cali Kitchen, Chef Rondeno promises more pop-ups, intimate dinners, and interactive experiences to bring his fresh, soulful approach to cuisine to tables everywhere.
