It's Only Food

Hello, I am Chef John Politte, and this is my cooking channel-It’s Only Food. I put together a no-nonsense cooking show that takes you right into cooking a recipe. I have been in foodservice industry for over 40 years as a cook, chef, bartender, bouncer, bus boy, dishwasher, multi-level manager and instructor. Outside of that I have also been a food journalist and photographer, podcaster, and cookbook author. I also have an Etsy seasoning business. Right now, I am currently the executive chef in a senior living community, and I am making this channel because I enjoy sharing my experience and wisdom to entertain and teach the curious among us.The style of It’s Only Food is to be simple and straightforward. I grew up watching the pioneers of cooking shows in the 1960’s and 1970’s. There are no polished or fancy frills, no hacks, crazy jump cuts, pretentious judging, or competitive showboating. Just me making each recipe from start to finish, building flavor and design with fundamentals, cooking methods and culinary technique. The show is a one-man production, and you will literally be right there in the kitchen with me as I discuss lighting, camera angles, editing, and other aspects of the production process, not just the food and the recipe.I will be making various playlists such as global cuisines, fast food sauces, casseroles, sandwiches, breakfasts, and my own edition of a culinary academy.I am also very big on being clean, organized and fully aware of food safe
