Passionate author, chef, cyclist and philanthropist, Chris Cosentino is renowned for his innovative approach to classic Italian recipes and whole animal cooking.

A Rhode Island native, Cosentino is a graduate of the culinary program at Johnson & Wales University. He rose to celebrity chef prominence following his appearance on The Next Iron Chef, Chef & the City, and Iron Chef America before competing and winning BRAVO’s Top Chef Masters season 4, raising $141,000 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
