Chef Shaun O'Neale

Cook With Shaun O'Neale

MasterChef Season 7 Champion, Shaun O’Neale has been orchestrating dance floors from the DJ booth for almost 20 years and refining his culinary skill in home kitchens for just as long. One thing has remained constant for Shaun... his absolute obsession with all things food. Spending years developing and fine tuning his culinary skills Shaun came out of the home kitchen and into the spotlight on season 7 of the hit show MasterChef. Having the honor to cook for and learn from masters in the culinary world has intensified his passion in the kitchen with his new cookbook, My Modern American Table.
