Welcome to the Home Chef. This is a website dedicated to the enhancement of the culinary art. Sit back, relax, let your creativity flow, and be open to new ideas. This site is also geared towards restaurants, pubs, cafe, bistros, and all culinary/dining establishments to help them enhance their services to better serve thier customers.
Different approaches work for different people. One main rule/moto that works for creativity in culinary cooking is that "Recipes" are only a "GUIDE". Recipes are NOT a RULE. You can deviate/change some ingredients to make it better for your guests and give them a culinary feast to remember.
The main emphasis of this website is to remove the stigma of a "Military Cook" from the old days of the military and bring everybody to the 20th century. Myself and my fellow culinary military personel are not just "military cooks". We are an important part of the United States military which uses our culinary skills to increase the morale and give a feeling of home to our fellow service members so that they can stay focused with thier tasks no matter if it is at war or in peace assisting humanitarian efforts all over the world. Our job is mostly thankless and often overlooked because of the special operations of our countries finest service members.
This website is a Salute from Chef Rhodello Nuval and Chef Wesley Williams to our brothers in arms and all the other Home Chefs who work a thankless job and love to bring a small slice of happiness to people through our culinary skills.
Take Care of your customers. Who knows...their next customer might be you!
