Gator Chef Andy Fass

A few photos from an upcoming profile on Gator alumni Chef Andy Fass. Chef Andy is a master of Italian cooking and earned a bachelor’s in political science from the University of Florida and a Juris Doctorate from the Levin College of Law before settling down to what he loves most: cooking. After studying at the New England Culinary Institute, where he trained in la cucina italiana, Fass worked as a chef at Italian restaurants in New Orleans and Asheville, NC. He gave up being a lawyer to return to Gainesville, FL in 2007 to take over one of the city's most beloved restaurants, Amelia's Fine Italian Cuisine.

Check out the "Gator Chef" video my team and I produced showcasing Chef Andy's culinary skills for the University of Florida Alumni Association. https://youtu.be/0J7UDEBNOWg

Basic knife skills can make the difference between the success of failure of a dish. Learning how to dice an onion is one of the building blocks of cooking. Many sauces use diced onions. Making fresh homemade salsa can teach basic knife skills. A few roma tomatoes, a small onion, some parsley and lime can make a killer salsa.

Making great food doesn’t require a culinary degree, formal training, or any people to cook for. All it takes is a few basic skills, a lot of patience, and some inspiration. I’m starting this blog so it can (hopefully) be inspiration for someone to learn how to cook more than 74¢ Mac-n-cheese or lonely man dinners.
