Meet the Chefs Behind Here Your Chef

Welcome to hereyourchef.com, where cooking is not just a routine—it’s an expression of love, culture, and creativity. We’re a small team of passionate chefs, and together, we’ve built this kitchen corner of the internet to share the joy of cooking with the world.

We don’t wear fancy white coats every day. Sometimes we’re barefoot in the kitchen, experimenting with new ingredients, tasting a sauce ten times to get it just right, or recreating a childhood dish from memory.

That’s the spirit behind everything we do here.

Who Are We?

We’re a team of 2 self-taught and professionally trained chefs, united by a single belief: good food should be simple, satisfying, and shared.

Basim Faris, Chef de Cuisine

I’m Basim Faris — I started my cooking journey back in 2019, and what began as a hobby quickly turned into a full-blown passion.

Since then, I’ve been working as an online kitchen chef, creating recipes that bring joy, comfort, and a little bit of spice into your home.

Cooking for me is more than just ingredients — it’s about sharing love through every bite.

You’ll find my dishes full of flavor, warmth, and soul. Welcome to my kitchen at HereYourChef — where good food meets good intention.

Dan M. King, Deputy Chef

Hey, I’m Dan — the guy who believes that the best conversations happen over a great plate of food. I’ve been stirring, searing, and slow-cooking my way through life since I could reach the stovetop.

At HereYourChef, I’m here to share what I love: real food, bold taste, and recipes that feel like home. Let’s cook something unforgettable!

Each of us brings something different to the table:

  • One of us has mastered quick meals with big flavors.
  • Another brings traditional roots and spice-infused stories to every recipe.
  • And one of us is always trying out trending kitchen hacks (yes, air fryer fans, we see you).

This blend of styles is what makes our content real, relatable, and—above all—cookable.

Why Here Your Chef?

Because we want to be your go-to chef—right here, anytime you need us.
Whether you’re:

  • Planning your first dinner for guests,
  • Looking for a quick comfort meal,
  • Or just craving something fun to whip up in 15 minutes…

We’re here for all of it. No fluff, no gatekeeping—just practical, flavor-packed recipes you can actually make.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Step-by-step recipes for every skill level
  • Kitchen-tested tips that actually work
  • Creative spins on everyday meals
  • Seasonal recipes, air fryer wonders, cozy classics, and more
  • A growing collection of dishes that taste like home

Everything is written with real cooks in mind, just like you.

What’s Cooking Next?

This is just the beginning. Our dream is to grow Here Your Chef into a full table of resources:

  • Printable recipe cards
  • Meal prep plans
  • Video tutorials
  • Community challenges (with prizes, of course!)

We’re cooking up ideas every day—and your feedback keeps the fire going.
