Hello, I'm excited you're here to adventure with HYCH hot sauces.

I began working in restaurants in 1992 and worked my way around the kitchen as dishwasher, cook, chef, and eventually Executive Chef of the Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Portland, OR. I'm now an adjunct instructor for the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in addition to offering private cooking classes and growing our HYCH empire.

I love to travel and I love to teach. When I'm leading culinary classes, my goal is to teach people how to approach cooking in a relaxed and fun way. I will show you how you can accomplish anything in the kitchen when you have a few strong foundational habits.

We're not currently offering online culinary classes or culinary retreats around the world, but we may bring those back in the future so stay tuned if that sounds like fun.

I hope you enjoy experimenting in your home kitchen with my original line of HYCH hot sauces — don't forget to check out our HYCH Kitchen blog for my favorite recipes!

— Chef Matt
