Derek Finocchiaro

All-Clad Resident Chef

All-Clad’s Resident Chef Derek started his career managing and producing some of the most sought after and timeless fine fragrances on the market. During this time, he found a love for food and the culinary arts.

After competing on some of the biggest amateur cooking competition shows in the country, he began his journey working in restaurants learning the craft from a chef’s eyes. This path took him from the restaurant kitchen and into our All-Clad test kitchen.

In the role of Resident Chef, Derek has been working with our product development teams helping test and launch new products. That is where his creativity begins. Usually, he can be found in the All-Clad test kitchen building recipes and teaching our consumers the art of using All-Clad’s stainless steel. Working across all teams, Derek gives colleagues the opportunity to test his delicious recipes while learning some fun techniques along the way.

"Confidence and consistency go a long way for someone learning to cook at home. Working with All-Clad, you can focus on building flavorful dishes and be confident that you have the best tools to succeed.”
