The Art of Catering Food
Mar 1 – 2, 2026
Los Angeles Convention CenterLos Angeles, CA

The Art of Catering Food 2025 once again brought chefs from all walks of life together for a two-day intensive featuring learning, inspiration, and of course sampling!

Throughout AOCF's two days, chefs and caterers gained valuable lessons that they'll bring with them back into their own kitchens. Despite all of the education happening on the stage, the real benefit of AOCF is the learning that happens behind the scenes in the kitchen where chefs are working together to perfect each and every sample that goes out to the audience.

These delicious recipes from our speakers were sampled on-site by attendees. Now, you can recreate what attendees tasted directly in your own kitchen! You can also instantly download the full recipe book by clicking the link at the bottom of the page (it's free!)
