Joshua Hake

Joshua Hake is a chef, recipe developer, and food stylist who creates food content for special-interest niche cookbooks and national brands.

Joshua grew up in Southwest Missouri, where he developed a love for cooking spending summers in his grandmother’s kitchen and garden. He has worked in a range of restaurants, from sushi bars, to gastro pubs, to modern American pop-ups he produces with a partner. He has opened restaurants, catered large events and festivals, and launched retail products—a broad experience in food that lends itself to the creation of a wide range of culinary styles.

He currently lives in central Iowa, where he enjoys working with the meats and produce the Midwest is known for. When he’s not writing recipes and styling food, you can find him sipping on an ice cold Corona and wrenching on his bitching Camaro. joshuahake.com
