About Us
My Journey - by Kathleen Selleck
I have always loved to bake and cook! Even at a very early age, I would watch in wonder as my mom worked her culinary magic and turned flour, butter, sugar and fresh lemons into her luscious "Lemon-Glazed Pound Cake," or took heaps of fresh-picked apples and created juicy cobblers, plump pies, and large cinnamon-spiced dumplings. The holidays were also a huge treat, for my dad took his turn in the kitchen where he artfully prepared his delicious, decadent "Sweet Golden Raisin Bread," and gooey "Caramel Pecan Sticky Rolls." Scratch baking and cooking using high-quality, preservative free ingredients has come naturally to me. (note: I use as many organic ingredients as I can)
My past food experience includes working as a pastry chef in several natural food markets creating both conventional desserts, as well as ones that use alternative sweeteners and no dairy products. While living in Colorado, I held positions both as a personal chef, and a catering manager for a small, local company. One of my most rewarding experiences was to be chef/owner of a quaint European style bakery/cafe where I created and served fresh garden soups, savory cheesecakes and quiches, and sublime sweets. In fact, it was in this picturesque little town where the creation of my line of divine desserts took root.
To formally increase my knowledge of food, I completed the Culinary Arts program at Johnson & Wales University in Denver, Colorado, and Baking and Pastry at Le Cordon Bleu School of Culinary Arts (CSCA) in Pasadena, California. It was at Johnson & Wales that I decided to specialize in gourmet, natural foods. At CSCA I further developed my baking potential and created and tested my French-inspired "Chocolate Truffles" and "Chocolate Fudge Flourless Cake." Kathleen 9/1/08 |
