In our first release of online classes, Michelin-starred chef and baker Nancy Silverton teaches her unique California-meets-Italy cuisine, James Beard award-winning author and chef Edward Lee teaches his Korean-infused Southern cuisine, and the “Godfather” of Israeli gastronomy, chef and baker Erez Komarovsky teaches modern Middle-Eastern cuisine. More classes coming throughout 2021, from chefs Narda Lepes, Sean Brock, Pía León, Virgilio Martínez, Kwame Onwuachi, Nina Compton, Francis Mallmann, Asma Khan, Dario Cecchini and Chris Bianco.
”I think YesChef is providing – probably for the first time, ever – the ideal conditions for learning the art of cooking online”

Learn how to cook
We’re out to deliver a unique combination of globe-trotting, inspirational storytelling, with hands-on learnings inside a food-centric experience, to let you feel like you’re with the chefs at home. Unlike other educational offerings online, YesChef is the first premium platform dedicated to the art of home cooking, with video classes that fuse documentary storytelling with a practical, immersive experience, to deliver a totally new kind of cooking education that uses inspiration to power education.
”YesChef lets me take students to my favorite places – including my home kitchen – and teach my food through storytelling.”
Nancy Silverton
Take a culinary journey
Starting with an inspirational, documentary story before going into their home kitchen across a dozen deep-dive lessons, every 5-hour long class takes you on a culinary journey with the chef, to teach a lifetime of knowledge with access to the fundamentals, secrets, and dishes that made each one famous. Every class covers a broad range of recipes, techniques, and inspirations, and includes a step-by-step guided experience, detailed recipes, and unlimited access from any device.
”We work closely with each world-renowned chef, to develop a unique class that lets the chef impart their perspective, their story and their knowledge to create an entirely new way to learn how to cook the best food in the world at home. YesChef is on a mission to bring the best of the world of food into your home.”

Learn home cooking
YesChef was founded by entrepreneur Steve Avery on the belief that anyone can learn how to cook, and everyone deserves access to the best possible teachers. Unlike other disciplines, cooking is a skill that can be cultivated virtually. When taught through the right delivery system and by the right people, almost anyone can learn to master home cooking. YesChef is committed to engaging the best names in culinary and creating the richest possible user experience with an immersive, interactive, intuitive platform that draws students in, exposes them to the larger world of food, and lets them bring that world home to share with their family and friends.
