I grew up in rural Kansas, where food preservation traditions were strong. Both of my grandmas taught me how to make jams, pickles, sauces--and how to preserve them all for a well-stocked cellar. I love sharing my passion for food preservation with other people. Seeing people get excited about their first jar of sauerkraut, or hearing from someone who caught the 'canning bug' and began making jams for all their holiday gifts is what I love most about this job!

What Guests Are Saying About These Experiences With Chef Kelly

Melissa C.

I really enjoyed attending Chef Kelly's class. Not only is her home cozy, but I love how knowledgeable she is about pickling and creating jams. You can tell she is extremely passionate about it, and that really makes the class 10x more fun! I learned so much that day and I look forward to taking her next class.
