Chef Chris Recore

Chef Chris has spent more than 30 years in the culinary industry, building his career around a simple philosophy: great food begins with quality ingredients, sound technique, and an understanding of the people you are cooking for. 

His background has taken him through fine dining, resorts, high-volume operations, private events, butchery, smoking and preservation, along with menu development.  Most recently he has served as Executive Chef at Ledge Rock Grille on Minnesota's North Shore, where he focused on creating a strong culinary identity rooted in regional ingredients and approachable, thoughtfully prepared food.
Chef Chris has also written a book entitled Flavor Under the Aurora: A Nordic-Inspired Kitchen from the North Shore, a project that allowed him to document some of the food, techniques, and experiences that have shaped his career.

His wife Breanne, their young daughter Baily, are excited to make Aberdeen their home and become part of the community as well as building the next chapter of Moccasin Creek's culinary program.
