Welcome
My name is Ian Benites. I am a chef by profession and I have been working in fine dining for over a decade. Most recently I was working at Gramercy Tavern in Manhattan. I have also worked at a number of great restaurants such as Marea in New York City and Komi in Washington DC.
Staying at home during this pandemic has given me a lot of time to cook and re-ignite my love for home cooking. Learning how to cook new dishes is fun, challenging, rewarding and very inexpensive compared to eating out. Hopefully you find the recipes and guides on this website helpful.
