If you just googled, “Dating a chef” and arrived here, welcome. Welcome to this crazy life of being involved with someone in the culinary industry.
I would guess the reason you googled this topic is because dating a chef is not exactly what you expected it would be. Perhaps you’re lonely, frustrated by the hours, struggling with finding time to spend together, or even time to talk.
Well guess what?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!
WOOHOO!!
Don’t you feel so much better already?
There are tons of us out there, who are somehow connected to a chef . . . married, dating, parents, siblings, etc.
There are others out there who can relate to the crazy obsession with chef knives, things for the kitchen and cookbooks. Nice!! 🙂 (more…)

It’s almost here. The day we’ve all be waiting for. The day we celebrate our love for each other . . . oh wait . . . the person we love is a chef and is working that night (and all the days around Valentine’s Day).

“What is it like to cook for a chef?” Depending on who you ask, you’ll get very different answers.
If you ask one my friends, they will tell you they are very nervous to cook for my chef/husband.
If you ask the parent or sibling of a chef, I don’t think they would think much of it since they’ve always done it Although they might ask a question or two if the chef is around when they are cooking. (Please correct me if I’m wrong.)
If you ask an aspiring line cook what it’s like to cook for an Executive Chef in an interview, they’ll probably tell you they were very nervous because they wanted to do well and get the job.
But what about the wife or girlfriend or a chef? (Or husband/boyfriend . . . you know I never want to leave you out, it’s just awkward to always say all types of people in one sentence.)
I do the majority of cooking at home since I’m married to a chef. Most of the time it’s because he’s not home. But what about the times he is home? What is it like to cook for him? (more…)

Should I date a chef?
I guess it depends on who you ask and who is asking.
This seems to be a question that is “googled” a lot, probably because with the hours a chef works, it’s tough to get to know each other and to find time to spend together when your are working opposite schedules.
Let’s look at two chef wives “tweeting” about it the other day . . .
Initial tweet (just sharing a blog post written by another chef’s girlfriend) – @EmulsifiedFam – So you want to date a chef . . . post from a chef/girlfriend. 🙂 #datingachef http://fb.me/2ysPEDIMx
