Chronicles of a Chef
Hello Everyone! I am Scott Hamilton, a father, a chef, an entrepreneur, and an avid seeker of life's exhilarating experiences. It is with great enthusiasm that I embark on this new chapter of my life and invite you to join me on this captivating journey through the Chronicles of a Chef.
At the core of my world, I am a proud father to my two boys, Leo and Max, who bring immeasurable joy and purpose to my existence. Parenthood, indeed, is the most remarkable and rewarding adventure of my life. Though not always glamorous or effortless, the role of a father has profoundly shaped me. It is a cliché, I admit, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Together, we relish in wild escapades into nature, movie parties, nurturing creativity, and the joy of cooking. No matter where we find ourselves geographically or the circumstances we encounter, my boys possess an extraordinary ability to transform the simplest of moments into grand adventures.
On the professional front, I am a classically trained chef, having graduated from The International Culinary Arts Institute at The Art Institute. With a Bachelor of Sciences in Culinary Management, I have dedicated over a decade of my life to the food industry, honing my skills as a line cook, a manager, and ultimately an Executive Chef. For me, cooking is not merely a profession; it is an art form that engages all five of our senses. Through food, we traverse the globe, transcending time to relive cherished memories or dream of future travel endeavors.
The past five years have been primarily focused on my role as a father. Seasons in life ebb and flow, and now, as I enter a new phase, I am afforded the opportunity to redirect some of my attention towards my culinary passion and entrepreneurial pursuits. It is with great excitement that I use this platform, Chronicles of a Chef, to share with you my adventures as a father, a chef, an entrepreneur, and how these diverse aspects collide in this splendid adventure called life.
Prepare to be inspired as I weave tales of culinary marvels, captivating expeditions, and the triumphs and challenges I encounter along the way. Through my writing, I strive to embolden others to embrace their own passions and live life to the fullest. Together, we will relish in the beauty of culinary creation, explore the corners of our world, and celebrate the extraordinary tapestry of life's adventures.
So, dear readers, fasten your seatbelts and sharpen your knives as we embark on this compelling journey together. Welcome to Chronicles of a Chef, where each page turned promises a new discovery, a fresh perspective, and a dash of courage to pursue our passions unapologetically. The future brims with delectable possibilities, and I invite you to savor every moment with me.
Until we meet again,
Scott Hamilton

RECIPES






This Romesco sauce is going to be your new favorite and you are going to want to put it on EVERYTHING!
In this video I make a delicious yet simple Romesco sauce! A traditional Sauce that hails from Spain, it is bright, refreshing, and full of flavor! Typically it consists of a roasted tomatoes, almonds and dried nora peppers but today we are mixing it up! We are roasting off a red bell pepper, toasting up some Chile De Arbol and New Mexico Dried chiles and adding a touch of heat with roasting a fresh jalapeno! The best part of this sauce besides the beautifully intense flavor is the simplicity of how to make it! I Roast everything together on a sheet tray, pop them in a blender and blend till I get the consistency that I enjoy! Boom you are ready to go! It can be served hot or cold, used as a marinade, even as a spread on a sandwich! It pairs really well with most fish, but specially white fish. What about grilled or roasted chicken, YUP! How about pork? Aboslutely! Beef?? I dont see why not! The options are truly endless!! Today I decided to go the vegetarian route being inspired by Eggplant parmesan! I through together a simple breaded Eggplant and serve it up with this amazing Romesco Sauce and freshly grated Manchego cheese to take it to the next level and realyl bring home the Spanish flavors!
