Anna Kate’s love language is a crowded kitchen and a home-cooked meal.
Growing up in South Alabama, her love for food, cooking, and gathering began as a small child.
Under the watchful eye of her Nana, Anna Kate learned to cook, toddling on a kitchen stool and making out faded recipe cards.
Along with a few helpful kitchen skills, it was on that rickety kitchen stool that Anna Kate learned many life lessons…
You see, there was always an unexpected guest arriving just before supper in Nana’s kitchen, dropping by for a cool tomato sandwich or a hot dinner plate. Yet, at an already crowded kitchen table, somehow Nana always managed to have another spot just for them. It was there – in that kitchen – Anna Kate learned that food not only fills the belly, but it nourishes the soul, too.
