Meet Chef Darlene B
 
Hello! I’m Chef Darlene B, a Connecticut-based Cooking Instructor and Food Truck Owner with a passion for helping people discover the joy of cooking through food, culture, and creativity.
 
One of my greatest passions, besides cooking, is travel. I love exploring different cultures through their cuisine and bringing those experiences into my classes. Through regional and global recipes, I encourage both children and adults to step outside their comfort zones, expand their palates, and experience the flavors of the world.
 
My cooking programs are designed to do more than teach recipes. They help students build confidence, develop valuable life skills, and create lasting memories in the kitchen. One of the most rewarding parts of teaching is watching students become excited about trying new foods and seeing their food choices and preferences grow in positive ways.
 
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Corporate Communication, a Certificate in Culinary Arts, and have worked in the culinary industry for more than 20 years. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of being featured as a chef on The Dr. Oz Show (twice), Holy & Hungry on the Cooking Channel with Sherri Shepherd, and several local television news programs.
 
In addition to teaching, I own and operate a successful food truck that has been featured by numerous food influencers and has received outstanding reviews from customers throughout the region.
 
Whether you’re joining a cooking class, hosting a private event, or simply looking to learn something new, I look forward to sharing my love of food, culture, and cooking with you.
