Chef Shannon Russell
Chef At Home In RochesterGet to know me better
I'm a boundary-pusher and risk-taker with endless passion for cooking, tasting and creating, sharing, experiencing and connecting!
I am a professional chef with over 15 years of experience in the food industry. In 2021, I began taking on personal chef work and private dinners for clients in their homes or chosen venues. I also decided to return to school to study Nutrition & Dietetics, expanding upon my vast knowledge of food and why we feed ourselves the way we do. I would love nothing more than to share my passion for cooking with the right individuals or families/groups to create a relationship around food that feels (and tastes) good for all. I can accommodate any and all dietary preferences and love a great challenge! :) Whether you want someone to cook for you and your family during the week, have a bangin' office party, or want to host a lavish, multiple-course dinner for a special occasion, I am here for you.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
A creative outlet with almost no rules. It can be fun, experimental, and incredibly rewarding. Cooking is connecting and experiencing,
I learned to cook at...
Work! I've been fortunate to work for many great chefs on my journey, and likely know just as much if not more than post-graduate culinary students.
A cooking secret...
Berbere - an Ethiopian spice blend, somewhat similar to curry. It is OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious!
