"Colonel Harland Sanders: The Autobiography of the Original Celebrity Chef" was written by the Colonel himself in 1966 and is now going to be available for download on the KFC facebook page.  The writings of the KFC founder was accidentally discovered and includes life lessons and recipes from the famous chef.  

Some of the recipes featured in the book such as potato pancakes and upside-down peach cobbler, have never been seen or did they make it onto the menu of the KFC franchise that he started in 1955.  Ten years after he opened his first restaurant, the Colonel had over 600 franchises.  Today, there are an estimated 14,000 KFC restaurants in more than 80 countries around the world.

According to a press release issues by the company, the Facebook Page also includes "two videos from celebrity chef Edward Lee, who provides a modern twist on the Colonel's recipes. Chef Lee, a Brooklyn native and executive chef/partner at Louisville's famous 610 Magnolia restaurant who grew up eating KFC, won the Iron Chef America competition in November, 2010, and finished in the top five of Top Chef Texas Season 9 earlier this year. He was a finalist for The Best Chef Award Southeast from the prestigious James Beard Foundation in both 2011 and 2012."
