The Savannah Book Festival continues to expand its 2013 offerings.

In a new Friday afternoon event, celebrity chef and author Bobby Deen will appear at 1 p.m. Feb. 15 at Trustees Theater with lifestyle expert Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, organizers announced today. Tickets for the two-hour event are $10 and go on sale Nov. 19.

Deen is known to Savannahians as co-manager with his brother Jamie of The Lady & Sons, owned by their mother, Paula Deen. Bobby has gained national recognition for his Cooking Channel show, “Not My Mother’s Meals,” which debuted this year and features Bobby tweaking and lightening up Paula’s recipes. He also has co-authored three books with Jamie: “Get Fired Up,” “The Deen Brothers Cookbook” and “Take It Easy.”

Schlegel Whitman is a frequent contributor on NBC’s “Today Show” and the current editor at large for Southern Living magazine. She has written six books, including her latest, “Wedding Inspirations,” which has just been published.

“With Bobby Deen and Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, we have the perfect juxtaposition of refined meets relaxed,” said Cindy Edwards, the festival’s lifestyle coordinator. “Kimberly is all about tasteful presentation, and Bobby is all about taste. The audience is going to come away with plenty of food for thought, whether it’s elegant entertaining or laid-back, comfort cooking.”

The 2013 Savannah Book Festival takes place Feb. 14 through 17. For details, go to savannahbookfestival.org.
