About me!

Picture of me, David Francis, filming about restoring cast iron pans.

I’m David Francis and I’ve had a passion for cooking for over 15 years. Much of my learning comes from helping feed up to 300 homeless people as a volunteer every Sunday for more than 4 years. I’ve owned my own catering business, spent time on a great brigade at a major resort and owned my own BBQ restaurant in Florida. This new website/chapter is my way of giving back and helping you learn to cook well.

I’ve cooked for hundreds, I’ve cooked for a few, now I’m cooking for YOU!

I’m Just Getting Started!

I have dreamed of creating this website for many years. I’ve decided now is the time to start!! I will be adding recipes and techniques to help people who are cooking for large groups. As a restauranteur and caterer, these recipes from the Armed Forces Recipe Service proved invaluable to me, even if hidden in PDF format. I am adding my own notes to some as I go as well.

I will also be adding a cooking school which will be broken down into bite-sized chunks (eh-hem) so we can “digest” the information more effectively. We’ll start with the basics and work up to advanced skills and techniques.

Another focus will be food I enjoy cooking and eating, and yes, that includes barbeque. As an owner of a BBQ place, I’ve had a lot of experience that I want to share.

As an Amazon Influencer and member of Vine Voice, there will be a fair amount of product reviews on this site. I will keep the reviews here relating to food and cooking, other reviews will be on my other webpage.

So pardon the construction as we build this online resource for people who want to cook better. I will be publishing videos on YouTube as well. If you’re interested in those, you can bookmark this site or subscribe to my channel at YouTube @DaveCooksBiz

Thank you for your visit and hope you come back soon!
