Ross Onley-Zerkel

(Taken from Deaf Chef Ross website)

After a career change, Ross studied cookery and worked at two cafes. A close colleague suggested that he deliver cooking classes to encourage deaf people to cook and eat healthy foods. Ross created Deaf Chef Ross website and Facebook Page. He completed a business course to develop a business plan.
In 2018 Ross travelled in USA to meet deaf chefs and gained some insights on their career life. Alan Abrams (Atable! in NYC) and David Uzzell (Washington DC) both stated the importance of educating children very early about eating foods with nutrients. Ross discovered his niche! He wanted to coach people and help them to introduce more nutrients in their diets by developing their food knowledge and cooking skills.

Ross registered with the NDIS so Deaf Chef Ross can deliver programs to people with a NDIS plan.

His wish is to help people to improve and manage their health with foods that are healing and food medicines.

Currently, he is writing a cookbook and his autobiography and this will be covered for this session!
