The COVID Chef

My love of food and enjoyment of cooking comes honestly. My father was a professional chef in 1950s-1980s and he was the forerunner of Food Network chefs with his own TV cooking show, even with his Polish accent.

Recipes
The recipes are inspired by Chef John. All the posted ones have been tried and tested and likely would have been endorsed by my dad,
