Innovation - YesChef - Nancy Silverton - Italy
May 20, 2020In July 2019 after a successful pilot with chef Edward Lee in Louisville Kentucky, YesChef continued to its next exciting project. This time around, our chef was the amazing Nancy Silverton from Los Angeles California. Silverton is a legendary American baker, a Michelin star chef and author of numerous influential cook books. She is the owner of the Mozza restaurants group in Los Angeles and winner of Outstanding Chef, James Beard Foundation Award (2014) among many other awards. She became world famous in 2017 when Chef’s Table dedicated an episode to her in the 3rd season. The production team met at her country house in Umbria Italy, for a week of shooting video and stills in the region. Focusing on simple and delicious recipes with Italian roots that inspire her approach to cooking in America. Our week in Italy established the back story and narrative for our forthcoming shoot with her in L.A at the end of 2019. I had the pleasure of shadowing her during the shoot in Italy, taking pictures of her food creations, capturing personal portraits and documenting the general atmosphere. The content was created to be used in the YesChef platform, an online cooking school where the best chefs in the world teach how to cook at home. Check out her story and lessons along with other exclusive content available with a pre-launch offer at YesChef.
