Food and the kitchen have been a part of Tom’s life for as long as he can remember. Combining equal parts humor and cooking expertise, Tom has discovered a way to make everyone’s kitchen experience fun!  A self proclaimed non graduate of any legitimate cooking school, Tom believes anyone can be a great cook if they have the desire to learn.

In the early nineties time hosted the popular cable access show Cooking for Dummies which later became Food Rules. This show ran for eight years in southern California as well as throughout many parts of the U.S. Over the years Tom has been a guest on a variety of television and radio shows and most recently has launched Riehl Food, a website featuring all of his best recipes as well as many new ones.
