Chef Mitch Battersby

Chef Mitch is the heart and soul behind Neighbors Cooking, where food, community, and storytelling come together in every recipe. Born from a love of fresh flavors and an even greater love for sharing them, Chef Mitch believes that each dish is more than just nourishment—it’s a way to bring people together.

On NeighborsCooking.net, he shares mouthwatering recipes, kitchen stories and experiences that celebrate both food and the people who gather around it.

Every Wednesday he hosts a live show, where local community advocates and leaders cook along, ask questions, and join the conversation in real time. For anyone who misses the live version, episodes are also posted on his YouTube channel so you can catch up anytime.

Besides being a chef and creator, Chef Mitch offers private chef services and meal prep all with a mission to make delicious, thoughtful food accessible and deeply connected to community.

Palm Springs Food & Wine Festival — Excitement

I am beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the Palm Springs Food & Wine Festival as a presenting chef! It’s an incredible honor to be part of a culinary celebration that brings together so many creatives, flavors, and food lovers. I can’t wait to cook, connect, and share the magic of Neighbors Cooking on that stage. This is my 3rd year and wouldn’t be possible without the community, the support, and the shared passion for food.
