Hello! I’m Kristi Larson, Culinary Specialist on the West Coast for the Taste of Home Cooking School. I get to travel throughout WA, OR, ID, CA, NV and UT for the Cooking School, and I love it! I’m looking forward to blogging about my adventures on the road this fall, as I’m sure there will be plenty of things to talk about.
Just a little bit about me. I grew up in Othello, Washington, a small farming community in eastern Washington. Although my parents didn’t farm, my grandparents did, and I definitely consider myself a “country girl.” I am the oldest of six children! I have four brothers and a sister, so there was always lots of cooking to be done at our house. From an early age, I loved to help my mom and grandma in the kitchen, making cookies was always my favorite activity J In fact, making cookies is still one of my favorite things to do. I got used to doubling or tripling cookie recipes while growing up, since they always disappeared so fast. Unfortunately, it’s a tough habit to break now that I’m on my own!
Alright, let’s get down to business. The Cooking School’s fall season gets underway on Saturday, August 29 in Pasadena, CA. It’s going to be a fantastic show, and I hope to see you there! If you can’t make it, check out the locations of the rest of our shows by clicking on the “Find a Show” tab in the menu above. You can search for a show near you! We have some great recipes and tips to share with everyone this fall, and I guarantee you’ll have a lot of fun! Are you ready to get cooking? I know I’m ready! Let’s get to it!
