MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS

Steven Amore
Chef Owner

Over 14 years in the industry of the Midwest’s food scene from gourmet marshmallows, to pub grub, food trucks, winning cooking competitions, grilling at steak houses, barbecue, and catering weddings. Persistently working behind the scenes and the occasional worldwide platform. I’ve always felt that something was wrong with me though, in 2023 I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and bloodwork analysis shows 2 MTHFR gene mutations. Often overlooked disorders with special dietary needs and restrictions. What I learned about myself was fascinating and my Doctor’s treatments have been effective! I was diagnosed so late in life at 30 years old so I’ve started this business with the cause to get at least 30 local kids & young adults diagnosed each year while spreading autism awareness and advocating for neurodivergent cooks worldwide. Here’s to your health!

“I always assumed making pasta from scratch was too advanced. But once I learned, I couldn’t stop. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to store-bought pasta.”
