Chef John Politte has been in the food industry for over 35 years as a chef, manager, bartender, waiter, bus boy, dishwasher,  bouncer, food writer, spice developer, consultant and instructor.

It’s Only Food has come to mean many things:

• Calm down, relax and chill-because it’s only food.
• Oh no!  Your chanterelles weren’t sautéed in truffle butter?  It’s only food.
• Your meatloaf didn’t taste like grandmas? It’s only food.
• Yes there is gluten in the pasta.  It’s only food.
• Those dandelion greens and watercress aren’t organic!?!  It’s only food.
• The corn isn’t GMO or free-trade.  It’s only food.
• My beans aren’t farm to table or handpicked?!?  It’s only food.

Starting to get the idea?  It’s Only Food wants’ to teach the basics.  How to use a knife, how to cook an egg.

The necessary steps of avoiding cross contamination and the practice of menu, recipe, shopping and cooking.  Simplicity and mechanics are the two pillars of It’s Only Food.  We are somewhere between using canned soup and being pompously artisanal. 

Yes, there is enough room in the culinary world for all types of foods, methods and skills, but we believe that nobody constantly eats over-the-top ingredients and recipes, and most of the time people just want straightforward easy food that taste good.  We aren’t trying to make enemies with anybody, or implying anyone else is wrong,  we just believe it’s only food.
