In early 2021, Chef Brian Malarkey, a celebrated Food Network and Top Chef star, set out on a mission to simplify the often confusing world of cooking oils.
Inspired by his experiences teaching virtual cooking classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chef Brian saw firsthand how many home chefs were overwhelmed by the choices and complexity of the oil aisle. Determined to make cooking more accessible and enjoyable, he created Chefs Life Cooking Oils—premium blends designed to help home cooks elevate their dishes to professional levels with ease.
Why Chefs Life Oils Stand Out
High-Quality Ingredients: Chefs Life Oils are crafted with a commitment to excellence, using only the finest ingredients. Our blends feature organic, kosher, non-GMO, and single-origin oils, carefully sourced from top regions around the world, including Spain and Italy. Whether it's avocado, second-pressed olive, sunflower, or grapeseed oil, each blend meets the high standards of professional chefs and is specially formulated for different stages of cooking.
Simplified, Versatile Cooking: One of the core principles behind Chefs Life is to take the guesswork out of cooking. Our oils are designed for specific culinary tasks—whether you're sautéing, frying, roasting, or finishing your dishes. With Chefs Life, you’ll always know which oil to use, enhancing the natural flavors of your food while withstanding the demands of high-heat cooking.
Innovative Packaging: To bring a touch of restaurant-quality control to home kitchens, Chefs Life Oils are packaged in squeezable bottles that allow for precise dispensing. The easy-to-read labels make selection effortless, ensuring that you always have the right oil on hand.
Supporting the Culinary Community: Chefs Life is more than just a brand; it’s a movement. A portion of our proceeds goes to the Golden Rule Charity, which provides support to hospitality workers in need. By choosing Chefs Life, you’re not only enhancing your cooking but also contributing to the strength and resilience of the culinary community.
Accessible and Convenient: Chefs Life Cooking Oils are available at major grocers like Kroger and Whole Foods, as well as online on Amazon. We’ve made it easier than ever to bring the quality and versatility of professional chef-approved oils into your home kitchen.
Chef Brian Malarkey’s vision for Chefs Life was simple: to uncomplicate cooking and empower home chefs to create amazing dishes with confidence. With Chefs Life, you’re not just cooking—you’re cooking with the best.
