Chef Dee Beltz

After 27 years in banking, Chef Dee Beltz decided to follow her lifelong passion for cooking and turn it into a new career. At 49, she enrolled in culinary school at Davis Technical College, completing a two-year program in just 12 months. She went on to work as a Garde Manger Chef at Little America before joining the Harmons Bangerter Crossing Cooking School.

Chef Dee's love for cooking started at home, where her mom taught her how to make the perfect mashed potatoes and béchamel sauce, and her dad showed her how to fry eggs during family holiday breakfasts. Today, she loves sharing that same passion with others, especially through comforting classics like a perfectly cooked steak and buttery mashed potatoes.

For Chef Dee, some of the best memories are made around the dinner table. She loves bringing people together, sharing stories, and creating memorable experiences through food.

Outside the kitchen, Chef Dee enjoys traveling and spending time with her two children, Zach and Holland, and her sisters. Her favorite adventure was a trip to Scotland!

Chef Dee's philosophy is simple: Cooking should be fun! Join her at the Harmons Cooking School, where every class is a chance to learn something new, make memories, and have a little party in the kitchen.
