About

As Executive Chef at Dos Caminos, Ivy Stark brings extensive culinary experience from her time at top restaurants across the U.S., including renowned establishments like The Sign of the Dove and Cena. Her culinary journey began in childhood in Colorado, influenced by her father's career managing luxury hotels. After studying history at UCLA, Stark attended Peter Kump's culinary school (now the Institute for Culinary Education), leading to her initial role at Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger's acclaimed Border Grill.

Returning to New York, Stark honed her skills under chefs Gary Robins and Andy D'Amico, later becoming Executive Sous Chef at Cena alongside celebrated chef Normand Laprise. She further distinguished herself by opening Ciudad in Los Angeles as chef de cuisine, and later served as beverage director and sommelier at Brasserie 8 ½. Stark continued her ascent in culinary leadership roles at Zocalo, Rosa Mexicano, and Amalia, eventually returning to Dos Caminos as Executive Chef. Currently, she explores plant-based, health-focused Mexican cuisine at Ivy Stark MEXology and BKLYNwild at Time Out Market in New York City.

Almond & Lemon Alfredo Fettuccine

1 stars of rating2 stars of rating3 stars of rating4 stars of rating5 stars of rating

Small Small amount of sauce that wasn’t much of a sauce but a thick curdled texture and lacked flavor. Combined with it being soft flavorless tofu and noodles left this a dry and bland dish.

Chicken Tinga Quesadilla

I’m giving up on any CookUnity meals that include a tortilla, it is always chewy and weird, even if I heat it up in the oven. Wish it didn’t have cilantro IN the quesadilla

This is the one beef meal I've ordered that has perfectly cooked rare steak. The goat cheese enchilada is also wonderful
