Blue Jean Chef

I’m a Blue Jean Chef. I am a professionally trained chef and I often wear a blue jean chef coat when I’m working. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me in blue jeans. So, one way or another, I’m a Blue Jean Chef.

I have always loved food. Luckily for me, I’ve been able to turn this love of food into a career in cooking, and have spent the last ten years sharing this passion with friends, students, co-workers, and now television viewers.

I started my career working in restaurants, but instead of continuing behind the stovetop and behind the scenes, I’ve chosen to teach people how to cook both in person and on television, and to write about food, cooking, and dining.

I’d like to make others as comfortable in the kitchen as they are in their blue jeans. Here you’ll find my musings on food - memories from childhood, cooking tips and techniques, recipes, new culinary trends, and general writings on food. All of this will be down to earth, basic, casual and comfortable. I am, after all, in blue jeans.
