Hi, 
My name is Andy Suarez. I am a full time Chef instructor from Chicago. I have been teaching kids and adult cooking classes focusing on fun interactive scratch cooking. I especialize in international cuisine which means the possibilities are endless. Cooking food from the first step until the last one is very fun to see how things are made. I am super excited to teach and inspire the next generation of creative chefs.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Culinary management and in Culinary Arts.  I have worked as a chef, culinary instructor, cook, caterer and food stylist. I currently teach and offer in home private fine dining. I am also teaching international cooking classes and hope to inspire your kids to enjoy cooking as much as I do.

My values behind my teaching is that I want people to understand food in the way that it connects us all. Food and teaching allow me to create a fun but very informative environment where people can allow cooking to be an art expression regardless of age or level. I welcome any level to attend my cooking classes and learn what it takes to be a chef or to become passionate about cooking. No one gets left behind in my classes. Everyone learns differently so I make sure I can give everyone individual attention and feedback. But most importantly I want my students to join my classes to have fun and learn skills they will always remember from a trained professional chef. 

Here are my favorite things to do as an individual and not just a chef. I love to garden and buy a lot of houseplants! :) I also enjoy playing Tennis, Soccer and Longboarding. My number one goal is to travel more and learn more about cuisines. Hope you guys can join me for my variety of cooking classes.
