Stuart O’Keeffe. A.k.a. Chef Stu.

Hi.I’m Stu!

Irish-born, Los Angeles-based chef, television host and cookbook author. I’m here for big flavor, good company, and a little fun along the way.

A little background, a lot of personality

From Ireland,with flavor.

From Ireland to Hollywood, my career has taken me from private kitchens to television sets, cookbooks, and a whole collection of seasonings. The thread through all of it? Food that brings people together.

You might know me from TV, have one of my books on your shelf, or have a favorite blend in your pantry. However you found your way here, pull up a chair.

Off the clock.still Stu.

Away from the kitchen, there’s time for friends, travel, beach walks with my Westie, Milo, and a little tennis or pickleball. Here’s a peek at the personal side.

Good company. A change of scenery. A moment to enjoy it.
