Chef Tim
Owner & Executive Chef
Chef Tim van Ee, originally from the Netherlands, is the executive chef and owner of Flavors on Fire, a cooking studio located in Katy, Texas. His culinary journey began with a passion for rustic European dishes, influenced by neighboring countries such as France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. This foundation expanded as he explored bold flavors from Asian cuisines, including Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese, during his travels. At Flavors on Fire, Chef Tim combines these diverse culinary traditions, offering hands-on cooking classes and chef's table dinners that showcase a fusion of European, Asian, and American flavors, all prepared over an open fire.

Our cooking classes are fully hands-on, meaning you will cook dishes from beginning to end (we will prepare some ingredients to save you from peeling 10 carrots). Our Tasting Menu dining is an interactive dining experience, where our chefs will cook and serve out a meal for you. No dirty hands required.
To make sure as many of our customers as possible can learn and enjoy the Flavors on Fire experience, our classes and tasting menus are public (you will sit with other people). We will take bookings until our capacity fills up (maximum 15 guests).

For our cooking classes, we recommend you wear comfortable, closed-toed shoes. Long hair should be tied back.
