About Me

Welcome to The Wanna-Be Chef, a little bit about me. My name is Jesse Colmey and I’m dedicated to giving you the best in food, home cooking, recommendations, and recipes, focusing on home cooking, restaurant recommendations, healthy eating, and much more.

I never had a big passion for food when I was younger. It was not until I went away to college that I took a liking to food and cooking. Coming home every weekend to visit friends and family, my father and I would pick a cookbook and decide on a meal together every Sunday to cook. From there, I spiraled into the food scene. I learned as much as possible about cooking, ingredients, techniques, and brands, following chefs, and trying new things in the kitchen. It has been almost 20 years since then. I have spent many years in the military and have settled down with a wonderful family. However, I am still at it, with more time now to hone down on recipes. I am thrilled to share my passion with you and hope you find what you seek in my blog.

I want to focus this blog more on the food itself rather than trying to explain my life story with every post. My recipes and the recipes hosted on this site help with the everyday challenges of cooking and meal planning.

I hope you learned a little about me, and please enjoy The Wanna-Be Chef. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. The Wanna Be-Chef wants to hear your thoughts. We are new food blog looking to grow and provide you with the best homemade recipes that we can!
