Joshua McFadden
Joshua McFadden is a James Beard Award–winning chef and author celebrated for his fresh, vegetable-driven approach to cooking. His debut, Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables (with Martha Holmberg), won a James Beard Award and has become a modern classic. His latest book, Six Seasons of Pasta, continues that exploration of seasonal inspiration—this time through everyone’s favorite food, pasta.
With experience in acclaimed kitchens including Franny’s, Momofuku, Lupa, and Blue Hill, and the early days of Ava Gene’s, McFadden brings a deep respect for seasonal ingredients and a style that blends creativity, innovation, and technique—echoing the spirit of Jacques Pépin.
