About me

Meet Chef Raymond Dorsey

Hi! I’m Raymond Dorsey, a 61-year-old chef living in Austin, Texas. My kitchen is where my heart beats loudest, a vibrant mix of clinking pans, sizzling spices, and the ever-present aroma of something delicious on the stove. I grew up in a small town in Georgia where Sunday dinners were practically sacred, and everyone brought a dish that told a story. I guess that’s where it all started for me—seeing food not just as sustenance, but as connection, creativity, and celebration.

A Culinary Journey Rooted in Curiosity

I’ve never been one to stick strictly to the rules in the kitchen. Sure, I learned the basics at culinary school in New Orleans and spent a few years working my way through high-end restaurant kitchens, but it was when I started sharing my own takes on trending recipes online that I truly found my groove. My philosophy? Food should be fun, approachable, and just a little adventurous. If that means adding kimchi to mac and cheese or turning viral TikTok pasta trends into weeknight staples, I’m all in.

Trending Recipes with a Personal Twist

These days, my days start early with a hot mug of coffee and a scroll through the latest food trends. I love experimenting with what’s buzzing—from smashed cucumber salads to upside-down puff pastry creations. I test, tweak, and sometimes totally fail (shoutout to the disastrous cloud bread phase), but I always come back for more. Nothing makes me happier than turning a fleeting trend into a real, repeat-worthy recipe that fits into busy, beautiful daily life.

Beyond the Kitchen

When I’m not in the kitchen or filming my next recipe reel for Flavivo Trends, you can find me walking my rescue dog, Pepper, or combing through vintage cookbooks at flea markets. I’m endlessly inspired by how old meets new, and how flavors evolve with every generation. My goal is to make cooking feel doable and exciting for anyone who’s ever stared into the fridge wondering what to make.
