Chef Jim Coleman is the Corporate Chef at Normandy Farm and sister facility, Blue Bell Country Club. Chef Jim Coleman is one of America's only multi-media celebrity chefs, having mastered television, radio and print. In 1993, the Philadelphia press dubbed Coleman "the spatula-wielding king of all media," a title he continues to hold.

When he's not in the kitchen, Coleman is in front of a microphone. In 1996, Coleman hosted his first television series, Flavors of Philadelphia, which ran for two seasons on Philadelphia’s public television. In 1998, Flavors of America hit national public television with Coleman as host and co-executive producer. Flavors aired in 70 million homes across the country from Portland to Puerto Rico. In January 2001, the second series of Flavors, with all new episodes, began airing in Philadelphia. By spring, the show aired across the country.






 
 
Since 1996, Coleman has hosted "A Chef's Table," a weekly radio show which features conversations with nationally recognized chefs, authors, and food personalities on a variety of food and beverage issues. "A Chef's Table" is broadcast on national public radio in selected markets across the country. Coleman has published three cookbooks: The Rittenhouse Cookbook, A Year of Seasonal Heart-Healthy Recipes, published by Ten Speed Press in 1997, Flavors of America, published in 1998 as the companion to the television show, and Jim Coleman's Flavors, published in the fall of 2001 by Clarkson Potter/Publishers, a division of Random House. Coleman's writing career includes a weekly column in The Philadelphia Daily News. The column is called "A Chef's Table," and in it, Coleman answers readers' questions. Coleman also does regular feature stories on culinary topics.
