Meet Jerry Yuille

Growing up in a family that celebrated gathering around the table, Jerry learned early on that food is the heart of every memorable occasion.

Once a corporate banking powerhouse, Jerry Yuille has traded his suit and tie for a casual relaxed black jeans and polo shirt, embarking on a delicious adventure in ‘Small Kitchen, Big Entertaining’. This captivating show blends his passion for cooking with his love for entertaining. Jerry’s charm and culinary skills knows that the true magic of hosting doesn't lie in the size of your kitchen, but in the warmth and joy you infuse into every meal.

Jerry was born and raised in Washington, DC, in a family where food was important, for friends, for family, as a general display of love. Now, he carries that tradition into his own life, hosting an array of gatherings that have included everyone from neighbors to ambassadors. Jerry learned early on that food is the heart of every memorable occasion.

From the bustling markets of Florence to the sun-kissed streets of Rome, Jerry has traveled the world, soaking up culinary wisdom like a sponge. His studies at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris not only sharpened his knife skills but also ignited a love for creating dishes that are as visually stunning as they are scrumptious. And let’s not forget his mouthwatering Italian escapades—he’s mastered pasta-making, pizza dough, and gelato, proving that a simple meal can be a masterpiece!

But it doesn’t stop there! In London, Jerry's passion for sweets took a turn toward the exquisite at Hotel Chocolat, where he turned cacao beans into edible art. Now his dessert repertoire dazzles with handcrafted chocolate creations that delight his guests and tickle their taste buds.

So, whether he’s whipping up a classic French dish or an Italian feast, you can be sure that when Jerry is in the kitchen, love and laughter are always on the menu!
