With over 30 years of experience, I have brought together my love for food, wine, and education to create a culinary company that focuses on personal growth in the kitchen. My background in global cuisines allows me to guide you on a tailored culinary adventure, helping you discover your inner chef. Working as a chef at wineries like Justin Winery and Marchesi Winery has given me the opportunity to learn from winemakers and understand the delicate process of turning grapes into wine. This journey has enriched my knowledge of wine and food pairing, and I look forward to sharing this with you. Together, we will explore culinary delights that enhance your palate and spark your passion for cooking.

Justin Baldwin

Founder Justin Wines

We have had the pleasure of Steven Hazell’s delicacies at our company’s health fairs for several years now. Steven was given free creative reign over the various dishes with the only guidelines that they be healthy and appetizing to our corporate office staff as well as our food manufacturing employees. He has always provided a variety of dishes, complimentary to each other, that were absolutely delicious! The health fairs are always held in a warehouse, with limited access to water, electricity and dim lighting. I would watch in awe as he would transform his work and serving space into a gourmet kitchen. Steven’s easy smile and demeanor won over those few hearts that were hesitant to try something new. With a sparkle in his eye he would provide the recipes to his masterpieces of the day to gratified customers. Steven’s energy is contagious. Cooking is Steven’s artistic outlet and he excels at it. We look forward to having him return once our health fairs can resume. He has always been the favorite “booth” and would welcome those who would come back for seconds, thirds or even fourths, something I, myself am guilty of. Whatever the occasion or event we highly recommend Steven Hazell to cook up dazzling dishes, healthy meals, delicious desserts or whatever your heart desires. And he will do it with professional ease and a smile.
