CHRIS SHAFTEN

Top Chef alum, former restaurateur. I gave up the restaurant life to chase what I actually love: cooking real food that fits into a healthy life. You might know me from the videos, or maybe I've cooked for you. What's worth knowing is the version without the edit: full recipes and technique breakdowns, my real take on food trends, the gear I actually use, and my musings on food and health, whatever's on my mind.

Cooking advice that might not change your life, but at least it doesn't suck.
