Chef Erik Lyngso

Chef At Home In Victor

I am a professional with over 20 years in the culinary field ranging from small independent restaurants and cafes to large scale hotels, country clubs, and catering operations. I am a Cordon Bleu trained chef and use my french background to specialize in homestyle comfort food with a twist. I enjoy cooking with quality ingredients that are a reflection of the area they come from. I like to use as much locally sourced product as possible. Cheers!!

For me, cooking is...

an expression of self via food. It can set the tone for the whole day or make a stressful day fade away. Food brings people and families together.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook at the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, a Cordon Bleu program.

A cooking secret...

to cook like you are cooking for your loved ones. Let the ingredients speak for themselves.
