We’re On A Mission.

We're on a mission build the world's best culinary experiences, one meal at a time. We believe food is the ultimate human connector. In our cooking classes, our goal is not just to cook a meal, but to bring you memories that last a lifetime. We'll transport you to a different land in an experience that will have you tasting authentic flavors, learning traditional culture, and making a new friend.

The Chef & The Dish: Connecting the World, One Meal at a Time

OUR STORY

We believe the world is better connected, and how better to connect the world than to share a meal in your own kitchen? The Chef & The Dish is a kitchen to kitchen culinary experience, introducing you to people around the world and exposing you to the deepest part of a culture - the food. But it's our mission to make your experience about so much more than cooking - our experiences give you the opportunity to virtually travel in your own kitchen. Our classes give you and your loved ones an opportunity to experience the world's most iconic dishes - even if you can't hop on a plane today. With our classes you can interact with cultures across the globe, taste authentic flavors, and transport your kitchen to a different part of the world for the day. Join us as we connect the world, one meal at a time.

My Niece and I took Chef Asli's Turkish Kebabs class. Chef Asli was so knowledgeable and patient. I have actually made kefta kabob a lot at home, and have struggled to improve the texture of both ground lamb and ground beef. I've tried most things: adding baking sode, adding a panade, grating and onion and dehydrating it. When I mentioned this to Chef Asli, her advice was so simple to implement (and unexpected). The result was succulent, tender kebab with not hint of meatball…

We had a Moroccan cooking class with Chef Badr, we cooked Chicken Tagine a warm tomato salad and stuffed olives followed by Moroccan mint tea. Chef Badr was excellent at showing us how to prepare and cook all the dishes everything turned out perfectly We think Chef Badr is patient and makes the class very enjoyable we shared the delicious Moroccan food with our family everyone loved the food. Thanks to Chef Badr and also The Chef and The Dish. Our Kitchen Assistant was very helpful in preparing for the class.

Chef Andres Jordan went way above and beyond! Excellent experience, great personality, the food was absolutely amazing, and my fiancé and I had the perfect date night!! It was great learning also about the history and tradition of this Mexican dish and he was beyond personable which made the experience even better! We cannot wait to share this with friends and family. If you want a 10/10 experience, would highly recommend working with Chef Andres Jordan! Thank you so much and thank you to The Chef and The Dish!
