Then, she served as a chef at Savoy where she cooked over an open wood fire, creating colorful menus, after being inspired by the Mediterranean.  Where at Savoy, she developed her culinary style—a love of rustic food made with simple and pure ingredients but with intense flavors.

Her next move was to the Institute of Culinary Education, but not to be a student. Anne Burrell took the opportunity to take a passion; teaching, and teach students her culinary knowledge. After three years of teaching, she went back to the restaurant business, serving as the executive chef at Lumi Restaurant. After Lumi, she joined the Batali-Bastianich empire by accepting a job at Italian Wine Merchants. This entailed salumi production and traveling to off-site events with Mario Batali. Mario was then asked to be one of Food Network’s Iron Chefs, and enlisted Anne as his sous chef.

She is available for cooking demonstrations, hosting and corporate appearances.
