Chef Sherry Swanson

Chef Sherry is a Private Chef and Culinary Instructor from Connecticut. She enjoys sharing food and cooking techniques with her students and has taught classes for more than 15 years. She believes that food brings people together and each meal is an opportunity to create a special memory with the people we care about.

Her diverse culinary experience includes winery, restaurant, catering and private chef work. She specializes in locally sourced farm to table fare and Italian and French cuisine.

Sherry went to culinary school in Denver, Colorado at Cook Street School of Culinary Arts where she studied traditional French and Italian cooking techniques and wine. Next she studied in Europe at the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners in Asti, Italy and the Hotellerie & Spa Bernard in Provence, France. Europe is where her love of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients began.

When Sherry isn’t in the kitchen she enjoys traveling, dancing, biking and spending time with her son and dog and, of course, cooking with friends and family.
