📖 Cheesy Italian Pasta Helper
"This ia waaay too flavorful to be called "hamburger helper"! I used powdered buttermilk instead of milk because that's what I had. It still turned out wonderfully satisfying. The coolest thing about this recipe is that I can pre-mix all the dry ingredients, and my husband, who is absolutely lost in the kitchen, can brown some ground beef and throw it all together. This one's a keeper for sure! "
Aimee Wetzel Luhrs
📖 Crispy Battered Fried Shrimp
"An absolute treat! I made shrimp and cod filets with this batter. I did use beer in place of club soda. Its the first time ive ever made fresh fish with a batter. Super crunchy and insanely delicious! "

📖 Bacon & Sausage Bucatini
"Made this for dinner tonight and it was so good. Loved the smoky flavors of the peppers and bacon. Couldn't find bucatini so used cavatappi, and it was just as good. "
Casey Peugh
📖 Teriyaki Chicken and Fried Rice
"10/10 for the whole family. I modified by cooking the chicken in the crockpot for 5 hours on low. It was fall apart tender and done when we got home. Rice went together in no time. "
rharmann
📖 Herb Roasted Chicken, Lemon Pepper Potatoes, Fresh Zucchini
"I wanted more of a lemon herb chicken instead of lemon herb potatoes so I kinda swapped the seasonings and oil but added some Italian seasoning to the chicken also. It was delicious. The skin was nice and crispy. I broiled the chicken for about 1 minute before removing from the oven. I will definitely make this again. "

📖 Chicken Francaise
"My new favorite chicken recipe. The chicken was so tender you cut it with a fork. The fresh lemon zest & lemon juice made the sauce perfect. Surpassed my favorite chicken picatta."
zozosreno
📖 Chicken Fried Steak
"This was absolutely a hit with the family! The coating was perfect, not too thick and the flavor was delicious, a true palette pleaser. I followed the directions for the most, except we can't do spicy hot and I omitted the tabasco sauce and reduced the amount of pepper. When there are tongues that burn from simple pepper, it is best not to add much heat. I made the complete recipe, and the gravy was so tasty, we loved it. Served with mashed potatoes and corn, it was a total comfort meal. :)"

📖 Parmesan Crusted Fillet of Sole
"Didn’t have sole but tried it with cod fillets. Really enjoyed that caper and wine sauce. "
lonnie.houck
📖 The Perfect Prime Rib
"I always cook a rib roast for Christmas dinner. I have usually done the low cooking at 225 for shorter but tried your method. I also did turn up the oven to 450 while the roast rested and then gave it 10min at that temp to form a good crust. Turned out beautifully with most of the interior medium rare but with that flavorful crust. "
lonnie.houck
📖 Spicy Calabrian Shrimp
"Really enjoyed this. I had to cut back on the amount of chile and it was still on the edge of too hot for my wife. I loved it. "
lonnie.houck
📖 Ground Beef Enchiladas
"Made these and my 8 & 4 year old loved them! So did my husband and I :) "
Jessica Williams
📖 Queso Dip
"The men in my family love this! We especially like it drizzled over homemade Spanish rice. I didn’t want to babysit it so I threw all the ingredients in a crockpot on low and other than using a whisk to smash up some bits of unmelted cream cheese before serving, it worked pretty good! "

"A new favorite in our house- we’re making this weekly now. It’s great! "

📖 Simple Ginger Beef Skillet
"Guys, this was delicious. So easy too. I added some matchstick carrots when I was browning the meat and I also had a head of Napa cabbage I needed to use so I julienned some of the cabbage and used it as an additional garnish. So good, what a treat! "
Johnnie Tomsik
📖 Linguine and Clam Sauce
"Super easy recipe. It actually came together quicker than I expected but still came together fine. I used the “fresh” pasta instead of dried so I actually cooked that last . If you like a seafood type pasta, this is super easy and super good. "

AS FEATURED ON
Chef Kevin Ashton
Chef | Foodie | Family Man
Hey everyone — I’m Kevin and food has been my lifelong playground. As a kid growing up, most of my friends were outside playing with Tonka trucks while I was inside playing with tupperware. I would set up my imaginary kitchen, create my imaginary restaurant, and serve my imaginary guests. Little did I know this would become my life's passion.... a career that has spanned over four decades.
After graduating from the Western Culinary Institute in 1992, my thirst for knowledge was insatiable. I dove headfirst into every aspect of the industry — from fine dining and butcher shops to breweries and country clubs. I spent over 30 years as an Executive Chef and 22 years running a family-owned business, mastering not only the technical side of cuisine but also the leadership, creativity, and adaptability it takes to thrive under pressure. My career has taught me one essential truth: every dish tells a story... a tale of ingredients and they are meant to be shared.
Today, I serve as the House Chef for the Pi Beta Phi sorority at the University of Nevada, Reno — a role that blends my love for cooking with the joy of mentoring young minds. The incredible women I cook for at the sorority have become like family, and their energy fuels my passion for creativity and connection through food.
You might also know me from social media where I’ve somehow grown a following of over 8 million food-loving fans. What started as a simple way to share my passion turned into something much bigger — a global community that’s been with me through highs, lows, and even a battle with stage 4 cancer. This journey has taught me that authenticity resonates. I don’t just create recipes — I teach confidence in the kitchen. My philosophy is simple: there are no rules in cooking. If it tastes good at the end of the day and people clean their plates, you did it right.
When I’m not behind the stove, you’ll find me spending time with my two amazing daughters, Carli and Kenna, my feline sous chefs Gus and Lucy, and my beautiful girlfriend Katie.
Cooking, for me, is joy — pure and simple and I’m thrilled to keep sharing that joy with you all through my recipes, stories, and videos. Grab a spatula, pull up a seat, and let’s make something delicious together.
