Curious Cook Turned Chef

Introduction: My name is Celeste Sutton and I was born and raised in Broomfield, Colorado. I have always loved being in the kitchen, watching my grandmothers and my mom create amazing meals. My love for homemade comfort food came from them. As I grew I always enjoyed cooking colorful and flavorful food but never thought of doing it for a living. I use the freshest ingredients that I can find and pride myself on educating people so they feel confident and comfortable in the kitchen! I first went to college for Fashion Merchandising and Design before going to school for Culinary Arts at The Art Institute of Colorado. I always thought the two went hand in hand. Fashion and food have many things in common and they each carry a prevailing style. You imagine, form, create something great, using conventional methods, then of course you want the end product to be aesthetically beautiful and also tasty in the culinary world! That's what I love to do and I have such a passion for teaching. My love for teaching came from my ten years of managing large restaurants where I was constantly instructing and coaching. I have worked as a Chef for The Omni Interlocken Hotel, Denver and Boulder Chop House, Rock Bottom and The Cheesecake Factory.
