The best lessons are delivered in the Kitchen.


In food and in life, its never too late to start over. It has taken me a series of encounters with female cooks to reteach me the life lessons I had forgotten-and many I never would've learned in the first place. I felt overwhelmed by the world, and my solution was a constant quest to fit into it somehow...Then, I started cooking.
My first job was cooking in one of my favorite restaurants in town, during my first week in the job I was still struggling learning the recipes and getting service out on time haha I was a mess! One day Suki appeared out of nowhere and slipped a spoon full of warm roasted tomato soup in my mouth. the moment it took to pass the spoon from her pot to my mouth, we bonded. Two strangers became friends. We were woman who were willing to stop whatever we were doing and have something good to eat. "Giving someone a taste of something delicious at exactly the right moment is a fail-safe way to start a good relationship."-Kim S.
I have made it this far in life only because people took the time to teach me those kinds of lessons. And the best ones have been delivered in the kitchen!!
