Little Kitchen. Big Flavor.

Hi and Welcome! I’m Katy!

In a little kitchen in San Francisco I can be found creating and adjusting recipes, and doing a little dancing. I love to cook for friends, for family, but mostly for fun. Not a professional chef by any means, and actively breaks all the rules (precise measuring? nope don’t have time for that!) I’m simply a fan of food, libations and hospitality. When I’m not in my kitchen, I can be found telling the story of the work of the SF-Marin Food Bank, and the importance of feeding our community.

Raised in Marin County, followed by a decade in Sonoma Wine Country, now rooted in San Francisco, most of my favorite moments include food in some way. Moments like:

• Doing the “happy dance” when something tastes oh so good.

• Sitting next to a woodfired grill on a cobblestone staircase in Lisbon during the Festa de Lisboa, eating through the whole menu and drinking all the caipirinhas.

• Garlic fries at San Francisco Giants games, a family tradition.

• The pear and gorgonzola pizza at the tiniest restaurant in Sestriere, Italy while attending the Torino Olympics with her dad and brother.

• Picnics at Fort Mason, the Marin French Cheese Company, Ocean Beach and more, where so many laughs were had.

• Hosting 20+ people in a SF sized apartment for Friendsgivings and Holiday Parties.

• Annual making of limoncello & custom seasoning blend for holiday gifts.

And so many more…

Cooking can be therapy. Cooking is a way of showing love. Sharing a meal with someone is one of the most meaningful experiences you can have. Thanks for following along on the culinary adventures in Katy’s Little Kitchen.
