About Chef Ali Teymouri

Chef Ali’s love of cooking began at an early age and has since transformed into a dynamic, lifelong process of creating and loving food. Years ago as a child in his mother’s kitchen, Ali started his culinary adventures by helping his mother cook traditional Persian dishes. It was then that he first learned how rewarding it is to create quality dishes with fresh ingredients. He eventually desired to transition from not only cooking food at home, but to also become an active participant in the food service industry.
