Meet Dash’s Celebrity Chef

  Meet Jon Ashton

Jon Ashton is proud to share his 20 years of culinary knowledge with dash, taking center stage at each of the dash Around the Table shows. Jon hails from Liverpool, England and credits his grandmother for spurring his lifelong passion for cooking.

With everyday solutions, lively tips and classic techniques, Jon works with one foot in the professional and one foot in the domestic kitchen, giving his audience the skills to cook with confidence. His passion for culinary arts and teaching can make a home chef out of anyone. No matter what Jon does, he remembers his grandmother’s wise words, “to share with others.”

A dad to Victoria Mei, Jon loves working with kids and is committed to making mealtimes across America matter again. He is a graduate of St. Helens College in Great Britain and began his culinary career in several notable English restaurants, including the Derby Lodge Hotel and The Kirkfield Hotel in Newton Le-Willows. After moving to the United States to follow his childhood dream, Jon launched into the business with a passion for sharing his craft and making good food accessible. He is currently the food correspondent for the nationally syndicated morning show, The Daily Buzz, which broadcasts to more than 160 stations. Jon brings the pages of dash and PARADE to life in 2013 with both his unique series of cooking shows, as well as his passion and love of food.
