Oxo has released the lineup for the fourth year of its Chefs in Residence program, which this year features James Beard award-winning chefs Marcus Samuelsson, Bricia Lopez and Dan Kluger.
Through the Chefs in Residence program, Oxo partners with renowned chefs to make cutting-edge techniques and inspiring recipes more accessible to at-home chefs by offering tips to enhance everyday cooking and make creative use of pantry staples using Oxo’s tools.
This year’s content series, “Fresh Take with Oxo Chefs in Residence,” addresses consumer challenges, such as convenience, budget-friendly cooking, exploring global flavors, gaining confidence in the kitchen and minimizing food waste. Chefs Samuelsson, Lopez and Kluger share recipes designed to streamline meal prep, fuse global flavors and inspire culinary creativity, according to Oxo.
“The Oxo Chefs in Residence program is all about celebrating innovation in the kitchen,” said Chef Samuelsson. “I’m excited to share my recipes and techniques and to show how Oxo’s award-winning products can make cooking simple and enjoyable.”
The series features the unique specialties of each chef, including Kluger’s barista-style drinks, such as his Coffee Marula-tini; Lopez’s tinga tostadas; and Samuelsson’s “nextovers” concept, including fried chicken with avocado dip and hot honey, utilizing leftover ingredients.
“Participating in the Oxo Chefs in Residence program is an incredible opportunity,” said Chef Kluger. “Oxo’s innovation opens up the ability to create delicious, restaurant-quality meals at home.”
