Young Chefs Academy of Sarasota

Young Chefs Academy of Sarasota Teaching children and teens the joy and value of cooking across the globe Dennis O’Sullivan is the owner of Young Chefs Academy, Sarasota.

A native of Chicago, Dennis and his family (Kate and their 5 year old son, Jack) moved to Sarasota in 2021 with the goal of providing a more small-town, active lifestyle for themselves. As a child Dennis learned how to cook by watching his mom, who was from Kentucky, cook various southern-inspired dishes that he now shares with his son. Dennis adds “my mom was a great cook and to this day some of

my favorite meals are the ones she used to make; I still have many of those recipes in her own handwriting that I am able to now share with Jack.” Prior to Young Chefs Dennis spent most of his career in the field of television advertising. In his spare time Dennis is an avid golfer and movie fan and loves to read about history, especially the American Revolution. He is also part of the PTO at his son's school, the Southside School Foundation of the Arts and a volunteer with the Reading Partners Program. Dennis adds, “I am so excited to bring the joy and value of cooking to the children and families in our new community. Young Chefs is a very special place where children of all ages can feel welcome and inspired with each recipe.”
