Experience

Trent is a self-taught cook who earned his cooking education by cooking his way through all 1,350+ of Ina Garten recipes - his own version of Julie and Julia. The project took six years, five months, and three days to complete - culminating in cooking the final recipe with the Barefoot Contessa herself!

Since finishing the project, Trent has expanded his repertoire, exploring other chefs and cuisines, developing his own recipes, and testing recipes for upcoming cookbooks.

His work has been featured on Today.com, The Kitchn, Insider Food, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Food52, Southern Living, Good Morning America, Simply Recipes, and more.

Favorite soundtrack: "My favorite soundtrack while cooking is Beyoncé's discography - nothing pumps me up more!"
