Chef Regina Charboneau, known as the “Queen of Biscuits,” will appear at Books & Books in Coral Gables on Friday, March 13, from 7 to 8 p.m. to discuss her new book Six Courses: An Entertaining Life. The event will be hosted by Porthole Cruise and Travel Magazine founder Bill Panoff.
In Six Courses: An Entertaining Life, Charboneau shares 28 menus and more than 200 recipes tied to key moments in her culinary career. The book follows her journey from her Southern roots in Natchez, Mississippi, to experiences in Alaska, Paris, San Francisco, and beyond. Along the way, she cooked for and became friends with figures including Mick Jagger, Julia Child, and Tim Curry.
Charboneau will also join Atlas Ocean Voyages aboard World Traveller for a 10-night Epicurean Expedition from Rome to Barcelona departing July 30, 2026. Guests will participate in culinary programming, including cooking demonstrations, tastings, and the Yachtsman Cook-Off, where Charboneau will serve as a judge.
