I'm a professional chef, cooking teacher, food writer, historian, and food media host. I'm also the host and creator of The Chefsmartypants Academy, on Substack, and Thechefsmartypants on Instagram and TikTok. I've been cooking and teaching professionally for over thirty years!! I've traveled my whole life, and love to explore the world through its food stories and food anthropology. The story of food is the story of humanity, so let's explore both together! I also love to hike and stay active, so my trips will always balance all the food with fun activities. Let's GO!
