Founder, Chef

Ashley Cook

Hi! – My name is Ashley Cook (I know-fortunate name for a chef). I’m a neonatal nurse practitioner who decided to take the plunge and go to culinary school!

I graduated from the International Culinary Center at the top of my class, along with multiple head chef recommendations. I am co-founder of Souterrian Supper Club, a company that specializes in gourmet dinner parties in the tristate area. Following my culinary school graduation, I accepted a position as a private chef and caterer at a NYC catering company. After putting in extensive time as a private chef to local clients in the NYC area, I decided to branch out and start my own business: A Cook’s Beet, Inc.
I have always had a passion for food and for cooking and I believe my experience as a medical provider and chef allows me to bring healthy yet flavorful options to the table.
Bon Appetit!
