Chef Dennis

My name is Dennis Littley or "Chef Dennis" as I'm known both at work and across the blogsphere, I am an Executive Chef, Culinary Instructor, Recipe Developer and most recently an Award Winning Food Blogger and Photographer.
After 25 years of white table cloth restaurants and Executive Dining, I moved into School Foodservice and rather than adapt to cooking school food, I taught the students the joys of real food, and it seems to have been the right decision. The graduating class of 2010 at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Flourtown, Pa, voted food as their #1 memory of four years in High School!

I began blogging in 2009 as a resource for my culinary students, and soon found myself with followers around the world, at which time I began posting "real food recipes for real people"

In 2011 I was awarded "Most Valuable Foodie" by the food blogging community at Foodbuzz, for the work I have done in the community. My Ask Chef Dennis Series covers a range of topics that every food blogger should know, and the In My Restaurant Kitchen Series teaches you how to make restaurant style dishes in your own home.

You can find me at my blog, "A Culinary Journey with Chef Dennis" and also at ChefHangout.com where I am a Chef Instructor teaching live cooking classes on Google+.

Life is good when you're able to do what you love!
