About Chef Cori
Chef Cori Doern is an executive chef, culinary educator and media personality with more than 25 years of experience in food, hospitality and culinary education.

Today, her home base is The Union in Newmarket, where she brings those worlds together through hands-on culinary education, original food experiences and media.
Cori’s approach to cooking is practical. She teaches people to understand ingredients, technique, flavour and the decisions that build real confidence in the kitchen — not simply how to follow a recipe.
