Lelia Gentle
F&D is delighted to welcome Lelia Gentle as our home cooking columnist. Her experience, expertise, and friendly voice bring a delightful addition to our roster. Lelia has been a prominent and influential part of Louisville’s food scene for more than four decades since she and her husband Stan opened St. Matthews Seafood Co. in 1979. As a fishmonger, food educator (current instructor at Cooking at the Cottage), restaurateur (Stan’s Fish Sandwich), farmer (DreamCatcher Farm) and farm market fixture (a long-time vendor and breakfast chef at the Original Bardstown Road Farmer’s Market), Lelia has deep personal connections across the spectrum of Louisville’s food scene — the folks who produce, who cook, and who consume. And we’re sure you will find inspiration in these Letters From Lelia’s Kitchen.
