About Chef Savvy

We make food for everyday people who want to make good recipes from a trusted source. You don’t have just one but two classically trained chefs testing every recipes at least three times! They also have to pass the test of our two young daughters who can be quite the critics.

Our History

Chef Savvy was started back in 2014 as a way to share cooking tips and some of our families favorite recipes. We love teaching our readers our tips and tricks we’ve learned over the years cooking in restaurants, for our families and for the blog.
