About Danny

In his Food Network series, Rescue Chef, everyday cooks experiencing personal culinary obstacles welcomed Danny Boome into their homes to save the day.  As “Rescue Chef” he offered viewers creative solutions and a true understanding of the basics necessary for success in the kitchen.  Now, Boome brings his passion for food and culinary exploration to homes, schools and lecture halls across America.  He shares his fresh perspective and practical, no-fuss recipes and techniques through cooking workshops, courses and private lessons.

He started his culinary training in 1999 as a cook in Switzerland doubling up as an au pair for a local family.  He later trained at the acclaimed West Wind Inn in Canada and attended the Grange Cookery School in England.  His first post as a young chef was at the fashionable Asia de Cuba restaurant in St. Martins Lane London Hotel, which ignited his passion for fusion cookery.

Boome launched his television career in 2004 on UKTV Food’s co-production Wild and Fresh where he travelled across Canada seeking out the best home-grown delights each province had to offer.  He returned to England to host Danny By the Sea, Coastal Kitchen and Local Food Heroes and had a regular spot on ITV’s Summer This Morning.  In 2008, Boome became the “Rescue Chef” and was international spokesman for Samsung Refrigerators.

As a former professional hockey player, Boome continues to be involved in the international hockey community as a contributor to Powerplay magazine, the UK’s number one ice hockey publication.  He covers weekly news, events and games on his blog, 5+ Game.
