About the Chef
Hello! I'm Corey Soberanis, I've traveled across the United States and I've proudly called Tampa my home for over five years. In 2017, I founded Iron Chef Core to share my immense culinary passion with my community.
I specialize in creating menus and classes and executing events that are not only nutritious but tailored to meet specific dietary needs.
With a focus on farm-to-table cooking, I use fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that are as healthy as they are flavorful.
What I enjoy most is teaching others the art of cooking. Whether it's an individual looking to hone their skills, a family aiming to eat healthier, or a corporate team seeking a unique bonding experience, I love empowering people to create amazing meals with confidence and creativity. Cooking is more than just a skill—it's a way to connect with others, nourish ourselves, and celebrate life.
With over a decade of culinary experience, I’ve honed my expertise in dietary-restricted cuisine, health focused solutions and sustainable client relations. My mission is to make cooking accessible, enjoyable, and positively impact the lives of people I serve. Every class, workshop, or event I host is specifically & attentively designed with care and tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients.
This community is where I live, work, and raise my family, and it inspires everything I do. Since 2017, Iron Chef Core has been about more than just cooking; it’s about connection, health, and education. Together, we can create something extraordinary that's good for the body, mind, soul, and the community.

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
Had a great time learning some new culinary skills while making some amazing plant-based ramen with Chef Corey! Love finding a plant-based gem in Tampa! -Mona Shah MD (Board certified in both Clinical Preventive Medicine & Lifestyle Medicine)
- Mona Shah
Chef Core is very creative and professional! He created a 3-course dinner for me on my birthday and it was amazing! The aromas filled the air, and the flavors danced in my mouth. I celebrated on my patio with the Tampa Skyline as my backdrop. He popped the champagne and also did a great toast for me. Then as he served each course, the dishes we describe beautifully. I’m also a Chef and to have another chef create something so beautiful for me is a true testament to his craftsmanship. I can’t thank you enough, Chef Core!
