Jennifer Cote was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1958, oldest of three children, to GM engineer Gerry Klees and his wife Nancy, a self-taught pastry chef and stay-at-home mom.

Married at 17 to Thomas Cote, Jennifer has two grown sons and four grandchildren. She and Tom established The New Deli eatery in Pinole, California in 1985. The shop continues to serve the locals daily.

Advocate of organic gardening and healthy eating, Jennifer produced a cookbook in 2006, 'From the Land of Milk and Honey', sharing recipes and her faith in the 95-page book. She continues to post new recipes online at gratefultable.com.

Jennifer and husband Tom attend Community Alliance Church of Richmond, California. Jennifer enjoys organic gardening in her urban homestead, full of twenty-some fruit and nut trees, plus vines, herbs and flowers. Another hobby: keeping up with her sourdough, kefir and kombucha cultures on the side.
