Grounded in craft. Inspired by home.

Chef Matt Dunn

I’m Chef Matt — a classically trained chef with two decades of experience in hotel and restaurant kitchens across New York and New Jersey. This is where I share the recipes I’ve crafted over a career of hard work, real ingredients, and a respect for where food comes from. Some are born from family traditions, others from the line — all are designed for the modern home cook.
