About Dennis
Chef. Host. Author.
Meet one of the culinary world's most admired triple threats — a renowned Chef, Photographer, and Author with an ever-growing legion of followers. Once a struggling musician trying to make ends meet, Dennis Prescott unexpectedly stumbled upon a different kind of art: the art of food.
He spent over ten years striving to be a musician, traveling through the US and Canada before finding himself on the Nashville music scene. Wanting to change his lifestyle, he taught himself to cook by working through Jamie Oliver cookbooks borrowed from the library. That introduction quickly became an obsession — and he lost 90 pounds in the process.
Dennis began documenting his cooking on social media, photographing his daily dishes simply to remember what he'd made. Without photography school, his innate ability to beautifully capture cuisine earned recognition fast. As InStyle Magazine put it: "Dennis The Prescott produces the kind of food photography that you want to print, frame, and hang on your wall."
In 2017, he authored Eat Delicious (HarperCollins), which quickly became a bestseller. In 2020, his reach went global with the hit Netflix series Restaurants on the Edge, traveling to Malta, St. Lucia, Austria, Costa Rica and beyond across two seasons.
Through the UN's Chefs' Manifesto, Dennis engages on food systems, sustainability, and hunger — traveling to Kenya and Somalia to cook with families and amplify the work of the World Food Programme.
His second cookbook, Cook With Confidence (HarperCollins), invites cooks of all levels to explore bold, approachable recipes inspired by his travels and Maritime roots. For Dennis, community begins at the table. He lives in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
Food should never stress you out. The kitchen is a place for creativity, discovery, and a good time.
Support the farmers and fishers in your community. The real heroes are those working the soil.
The best meals happen when you share them. Food is the community you break bread with.
