Chef Aj Schmidt
Private Chef In BozemanGet to know me better
I am someone who loves to share the art and my passion for food. I have always been a believer that great food from the soul can bring great joy!
I have always enjoyed the connection food can give to people and bring strangers together. I have worked around the country in different concepts from casual to upscale fine dining. My favorite thing to do when I am traveling is to explore food options and learn new flavors and techniques. I continue to learn and grow and spread the love through food!
More about me
For me, cooking is...
A work of art and expression. Being able to source fresh and local products and showing the care and attention to detail is what I strive for.
I learned to cook at...
I first learned to cook as a kid with my grandmother. For me it was a great way to bond, and I was very interested at a young age.
A cooking secret...
Work ethic, adaptability, yearning for knowledge, and respect for the food and where it comes from.
