Cook Like a Chef: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Cook Like a Chef is a studio-based television series that shakes things up. This is a series about how to cook, not what to cook. We take you out of Grandma's kitchen and into a rock n' roll paced studio-based environment where the focus is the food and on the techniques used to create incredible cuisine.

This innovative, ground-breaking series features five young chefs as they explore and explain a myriad of cooking techniques.
