Koti Dearborn

Chef

koti@thestonesoupcafe.org

Koti grew up in Greenfield and has called Western Massachusetts home his entire life. His passion for cooking began while attending Putnam Vocational Technical Academy’s Culinary Arts program in Springfield, MA, launching a career that has grown into more than 15 years of fast-paced, high-volume kitchen experience. From line cooking to kitchen management, the culinary world is all he’s ever known. Still, if you ask him, he’ll tell you he’s only just getting “seasoned” — with plenty more to learn and many more dishes to create

"I’m very excited to be a part of the next chapter at the Stone Soup. I’m dedicated to our noble mission while bringing a new evolution to such an amazing group. I’m focused on and delighted to bring my culinary abilities and knowledge to such an amazing team, as well as to our wonderful community."
