Kate Waldron-Parr is originally from Bay Village, Ohio. She began experimenting in the kitchen when she was in high school. Her mother decided she didn't really enjoy cooking, while Kate decided she herself didn't enjoy doing the dishes. A deal was made: Kate would cook more often, and her mom didn't mind cleaning up. Soon after, Kate decided she actually liked this whole cooking thing, watching cooking shows on TV and learning about new foods. There is nothing she enjoys more than good food and good friends to share with. Kate is a high school English teacher, so when she's not cooking, you can find her buried under a pile of essays!
