Andrew Forlines
I’m Chef Andrew Forlines, I provide education on built-in home kitchen appliances to kitchen designers and homeowners, among others.
There is more variety and complexity available than ever before when it comes to built-in home kitchen appliances. Steam ovens, induction burners, sous vide cooking, WiFi connectivity, and automated cooking are just some of the many cooking technologies to select from. Much of this technology has migrated from the fine dining restaurant industry that I worked many years in. My experience as a chef and passion for cooking technology combines in my
role as your guide to understanding, selecting, and using modern home kitchen cooking appliances with confidence! I offer consultations and webinars on my website, www.chefaf.com.
