Delicious Food for You and Your Guests

Chef Kimberly Carroll

Hi, my name is Kim Carroll. I am a graduate of the Rollins College MBA program. I am the proud mother of three wonderful kids and grandmother of six even more wonderful kids, but don’t tell their parents I said that. Cooking has always been my passion. When I was growing up, I loved to cook, spending hours in the kitchen with my mother, making a mess, but learning delicious, traditional, southern recipes, using authentic, seasonal, fresh ingredients, and preparing everything from scratch. I still use many of the recipes handed down from my mother and grandmother. With crazy hours working, I spent years running political campaigns, I was pulled away from spending much time in the kitchen beyond holiday meals. While going through a rough time in my life, I realized I needed to find something to put my energy into and so I rediscovered my love of cooking.

I cook because I am passionate about food. I love to spend time in the kitchen and see the smiles on the faces of friends and family as they taste what I have put in front of them. I love to cook for my grandkids because nothing makes them happier than a plate of fresh baked cookies or homemade ice cream. Being told you’re the “bestest” cook in the world is a great compliment when your son in law is a chef! Most of all, I cook because I love the way food brings people together. Sharing laughter with friends over a glass of wine and a plate of good food makes problems melt away and brings people together. The more I cooked, the more I realized this is what I wanted to do when I “grew up”.

I am excited to be working alongside Shirley Stamper to bring our passion for cooking to your next event.
