Rags to Riches?

Jennifer's story is one of rags to... well, pretty nice dish towels. She's excited to share the story of God's work in her life. From secular, humanistic new age rebel to born-again Christian, Jennifer's seen both sides of the fence. Running off with her boyfriend and marrying at age seventeen, working in the food industry from busgirl to owning her own shop, Jennifer's success in the business still left her dry. Hearing the gospel fresh for the first time at age 38, Jen gave up a life of misguided dreams, and settled more wholesomely into her role as wife and mother. A change of heart has yielded much joy as Jennifer continues to pursue God's will in her life.

"Applying God's word to every aspect of life, from gardening and interior decorating, to relationships and even dieting, works miracles," says Jennifer Cote, author of the cookbook/devotional, From the Land of Milk and Honey [WinePress Publishing 2006], and owner of The New Deli eatery in Pinole, California. Jennifer hopes the presentation of efficient, exciting, tasty recipes from a pro will mix well with the faith-based nuggets of insight found in her cookbook.

Meanwhile, Jennifer is available for speaking at Women's Events (giving cooking lessons as well, on request). As a young wife and mother who raised her kids while running her own business, Jennifer shares a perspective spanning 30 years in the food business. Serving in women's ministries at Community Alliance Church of Richmond, California for over ten years, running a sandwich shop with husband Tom for over 20 years, and enjoying her grandchildren and extended family make for a full life. Jennifer enjoys sharing the victories and challenges of her Christian walk, and tailoring messages to highlight the theme; you can invite Jennifer to speak for your next banquet, retreat, or conference.
