STARTING JANUARY 2013 CHEF ANISSA DAVIS IS A NEW FACE FROM NEWARK ON THE WEB IN THE URBYN KITCHEN

“It’s not the ghetto kitchen, it’s the Urbyn Kitchen” is the tagline for Chef Anissa Davis’ new web series. Viewers can get a sneak peek on YouTube.

NEWARK, NJ – December 19, 2012 –Chef Anissa Davis, native of Newark, will debut her new cooking series Urbyn Kitchen, Thursdays on the web beginning January 2013. Chef Anissa mixes her classical culinary skills with an urban flair to create amazing dishes that can be achieved by even the most culinary challenged. To give audiences a sneak peek at the show, the trailer can be found at www.youtube.com/chefanissa.

After catering large and small events for many years with her catering company Alite Affairs and being a Lunch Coordinator for many local area schools Chef Anissa began receiving calls from friends and clients for recipes they could make at home.

“I used to get phone call, text or email at least once a week from a friend or former client asking me for a menu idea or recipe to get kids to eat more vegetables. After a while I thought it would be easier to show them” Said Chef Anissa.

Chef Anissa’s recipes range from everyday quick meals to gourmet plates and everything in between. She shares stories of her mother while giving tips and tricks to making every meal just a bit better. While every recipe can be produced with items found in urban area food markets she introduces new elements of food and culinary knowledge with the help of her hometown.

“I go to different local markets in the city learn what they have and when it comes in fresh from meats, to seafood to canned goods. And I’m not afraid to go to the bodega, or farmers market or fruit stands to get items that would be more expensive in the supermarkets. I’m always meeting new people in the community and they give me ideas or even food. I met a woman this summer who built her own greenhouse in her yard with scrap materials. She gave me some of her tomatoes and I used them in one of the episodes.”

New episodes of Urbyn Kitchen with Chef Anissa can be found every Thursday starting January 2013 on www.youtube.com/chefanissa and www.newarkpulse.com.  To find extra material or to contact Chef Anissa visit www.facebook.com/chefanissa and twitter.com/chefanissa.
