Our Story
Welcome to Cooking in my heels, the ramblings and recipes of a life long NYC girl relocated to the Wild West with a serious love of food, feeding friends and fabulous shoes. I’m Karin, a cook, baker, recipe developer, culinary teacher, ex-NYC exec, erstwhile entrepreneur, nonprofit fundraiser, and feeder of many hungry friends.
After years of a career in the NYC non profit and corporate world, a lay-off in late 2009, the subsequent crappy job market, and a mid-life realization that life was short and I wasn’t doing what I loved, I gathered up Pradas, pots, pans and a BIG bucket of chutzpah and this Gotham gal moved from NYC to small town Oregon to bake, blog and hopefully grow a business from my love of all things food.
After three years of pitching tarts and feeding great friends and neighbors, I decided to move to the Wasatch foothills, and a smaller but pretty awesome city next to a big Salty Lake. I now spend my weekdays helping worthy causes raise the dough (sorry) they need to do important things, and the rest of my time exploring my new world, feeding new friends , and playing with food in the gorgeous mountain west. Cheers to good food, good friends and ample opportunities to make both!🥂
