Your Guide to the Home Kitchen Appliance Industry
do you feel overwhelmed by all of the choices Available for the home kitchen?
Chef Andrew Forlines is here to help home cooks and kitchen designers select with confidence.


Meet Chef Andrew Forlines
My passion for fine dining, home cooking, food science, and technology have led me to teach folks all about the latest and greatest home kitchen appliances.
I came up through the ranks in the kitchens of Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado, learning traditional culinary fundamentals under internationally acclaimed chefs.
then I immersed myself into the Molecular Gastronomy movement spending time in the kitchens of Alinea, Moto, and North Pond in Chicago.
I now use my experience to teach home cooks how to use modernist cuisine technology in home kitchen appliances to accomplish fine dining results at home.

So many When Andrew has hosted events about cooking technology it has always been incredibly interesting, informative, and easy to understand. He is interested in his clients needs and presents information in an entertaining and enthusiastic way. Absolutely! I'd imagine that it's easy to fall into a role of "just selling kitchenware and cookware" when having a similar job title, but I have never felt that way in Andrew's presence. His clients truly experience his warmth and kindness and it is experienced in such a way that truly transforms their experience in the kitchen.

Andrew is very knowledgeable and personalable. He knows his way around appliances, ingredients and flavors, and is definitely mindful of everyone's dietary limitations. He is a wonderful chef and presenter. I would absolutely recommend any of his events or picking his brain for future appliance purchases. All of them. Absolutely. Andrew is not looking to up sell anyone. He wants to be sure that everyone is well fitted for their culinary needs. A picky eater, buying a new home

Cooking Demo He was very informative and knowledgeable about each appliances brand Five star I would highly recommend chef Andrew cooking technology class. Chef Andrew had a deep and detail knowledge on cooking technology Professional chef

Ire Evans
Client
several I have been a working chef for 20+ years. When I met Chef Andrew he taught me how to work all the "new" technology in the kitchen. I'd seen them used before in professional kitchens but they had been totally modernized and sleeked down for home use and I was at a total loss. He is very patient and thorough in his teaching. His food is also very good! It's hard to find someone with talent who can also share that talent. I hope to work with him again in the future. how many stars are available? 5 of 5 or 10 of 10 Yes. He is very patient and thorough in his teaching. His food is also very good! It's hard to find someone with talent who can also share that talent. Hire him immediately! chef

Steam Oven Demo (in our backyard) It would be easy to simply listen & take in what Chef Andrew says about the bio science and physics behind what's happening with the food, all extremely fascinating and topical, but he also fields all questions, and takes the time to explain the successes behind what he's doing. The understanding he imparts speaks for itself the next time you cook. 6/5 if I could Wait until you experience a chef who has a background in comedy and performing arts, it's a charming combo matched only by getting to experience the flavors that he composes. If that weren't already a meaningful experience, Chef Andrew is savvy when it comes to creative, tasty alternatives to make "breaking bread" accessible for folks with a wide spectrum of dietary restrictions or allergies.

Private Party His impressive production demos in gastronomy show me his focus is on the food, not sales. 5 "Yes. Sometimes you have no idea how backwards the typical cooking norms are, until you have someone show you what you're missing out on. Now I look at electric coil ranges the same way I look at fax machines (stop cooking with infrared and resistive heat, and start cooking with magnetic induction, you luddites.) I only accept perfectly cooked meat now, because I know how easy it is to sous vide. Better yet, do it without a bag with a humidity controlled steam oven. I used to eat out for 90% of my meals, but thanks to my kitchen having more function and less hurdles, almost all my meals are home prepped. Sure, pandemic might have something to do with that, but I certainly have Chef AF to thank for my current kitchen hardware decision. " Home Cook, Kitchen Designer, Early Technology Adopter

Northern MI NKBA chapter meeting Overall a nice presentation, lots of good information. I felt the power point presentation lacked a lot. It was very amateur, for a presentation on technology, it could use a lot of work. I don't know if there was a technical aspect I wasn't aware of that could of been the reason for this. 4 Lots of current, pertinent information for anyone selling or specifying appliances Kitchen Designer Clean up the slide show - use power point- change the slides yourself, not a 2nd person, get the photos and info to full screen mode. We shouldn't see any of the icons. Do this and you'll have a dynamic presentation kathy@cabinetsinteriors.com Classic Cabinets & Interiors Petoskey, MI
