"Simply Sumptuous" this phrase is
how Chef Marc describes his signature culinary gift of showing people
around the world how to prepare 2 to 3 hour gourmet dishes in 18 to 22
minutes. How did this former Davis Cup Tennis Player obtain this culinary
gift?
Chef Marc was trained and certified as a Master
Chef at the prestigious Cordon Bleu in Paris. After receiving his training
he journeyed to Tahiti
to become
the Executive Chef for the world renowned Club Med Resorts. Chef Marc had the
desire to open his own restaurants and following his work with Club Med opened
Ole' LA in Beverly Hills, and a second successful location in Brentwood, Ca.
It was here that Chef Marc learned of his gift of interacting with people and
sharing with them the culinary knowledge that he had learned from traveling
the globe to create recipes that were gourmet, yet easy to execute.
Chef Marc soon
became involved with the growing trend of cooking on television. Chef Marc
started out with local television appearances which soon lead to his
discovery, and his own national cable television show The Very Best of Everything
with Marc Cummings.
Chef Marc recently went to the Middle East
to be with the troops for Operation Season Greetings, and had the honor
of sharing Thanksgiving
Dinner 2006 with
our troops in Iraq.
Chef Marc is currently working with the United States Air Force Reserve on
a tour titled "Chow and Chat with Chef Marc".
Chef Marc is currently
in development with the Tennis Channel and The Food Network on projects. Marc
Cummings grew up in a world of privilege being born the grandson of Nathan
Cummings, one of the twentieth
century’s
greatest entrepreneurs who amassed the conglomerate now known as
The Sara Lee Corporation. Finding that he was handy with a tennis racket
at the age of six, young Marc became a phenomenon, winning his first
national title at the age of ten. More titles followed as he became
a
teenager and by the time he was only 16 he was playing the National
Canadian Circuit. From there, he was recruited to play on the Jr. Davis
Cup Team
in Europe.
Concerned that his son might skip a college education for the love of
tennis, his father insisted he enroll in a four year program. “Any
four year program?” tested Marc. His father agreed, and Marc found
that he could continue to play tennis if he attended the Cordon Bleu
in Paris, not realizing that he had a natural talent for cooking lying
beneath his killer swing.
Marc toured Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean playing sports,
cooking, and sharing great times with some of the most affluent and talented
people in the world. Marc brings his winning style and personality to
his new series and is sure to bring in a whole new perspective with “The
Best of Everything, with Marc Cummings.”
