Gala Chef Anne Burrell
Chef Anne Burrell is the hugely popular and fan-favorite host of Worst Cooks in America and Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition on the Food Network. An industry veteran and passionate teacher, she prides herself on creating rustic Italian dishes that celebrate simple and pure ingredients. She has appeared regularly on shows such as Chef Wanted, Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped, and Food Network Star, and is also the author of two cookbooks, the New York Times top ten bestsellers, Cook Like a Rock Star, and the follow-up Own Your Kitchen: Recipes to Inspire and Empower.

The importance of scholarships
The Gala is Saint Martin's signature student scholarship fundraising event. An annual celebration of community, food and wine, the Gala combines two important Benedictine values: hospitality and stewardship. As we gather to break bread, we support our students, whose educational dreams are made possible through scholarships funded from the proceeds of this event.
