I have two model classes, Chefs and Dishes. It is a 1-to-many relationship. One chef can make many dishes, but each dish can only be made by one chef. These are my model classes:

public class Chef

{

    [Key]

    public int ChefId { get; set; }

    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    public string LastName { get; set; }

    public DateTime DoB { get; set; }

    public List<Dish> Dishes { get; set; }

}



public class Dish 

{

    [Key]

    public int DishId { get; set; }

    public string DishName { get; set; }

    public int Calories { get; set; }

    public int Tastiness { get; set; }

    public string Description { get; set; }

    public int ChefId { get; set; }

    public Chef Creator { get; set; }

}

When I click the dishes page, I am trying to display all the dishes with the name of the Chef who made that dish.

If I query like this:

var dishes = _context.Dishes.ToList (); 

I am only able to access the Id of the Chef, not the name.

I have also tried this:

var dishes = _context.Dishes.Include(c => c.Creator).ToList();

If I do that, Creator is the entire Chef object, and if I try to loop through it, I get errors as well. Can someone please get me in the right direction?

Thanks
