Mike C
From growing up in the wine country of Western New York to living to the fullest in Berkeley, Chef MikeC. slices and dices his way into your kitchen. By the ripe old age of four, he was already in the kitchen practicing his brand of food alchemy. Through the mentorship of his parents, he learned the finer aspects of organic gardening, simplified cuisine, and home entertaining for all occasions. By the end of high school, MikeC. had found his mission in life; to teach the world how to come back to the table with friends, family and food. He has worked in the restaurant world, natural foods retail, and culinary education for almost two decades. Since arriving in California, he has owned two catering businesses, directed four cooking schools, been chef/partner of a food and wine bar, and has been teaching cooking professionally for over 11 years. MikeC. is an honors graduate of the California Culinary Academy, co-founder and executive chef of Kitchen on Fire, former chef/host of the cooking show series “Organic Living with the Hippy Gourmet”, and author of “Kitchen on Fire: Mastering the Art of Cooking in 12 Weeks (or less)”.
