Hello everyone! I'm Kristin from British Columbia, Canada. I'm a professional chef, educator, wife, mom, and co-founder of Chefs By Design Skool, where we help people build healthier, more connected lives through real food, kitchen confidence, and community. Our work blends practical chef skills with gut health, fermentation, gardening, food literacy, and family rhythms because we believe the kitchen is one of life's greatest classrooms. I love helping people simplify healthy living so it feels achievable rather than overwhelming. I'm excited to learn from everyone here, make new connections, and see how we might encourage one another along the way. If you enjoy cooking, wellness, community building, or simply learning new things, I'd love to connect! 😊 My favourite drink is home-brewed bubbly kombucha, I have been drinking this for over 10 years now and every sip still makes my heart flutter with quenched love! I don't recall my name having much meaning, I'll check in with my mom and let you know if anything exciting comes from it :)

@Cate Evatt-Davey I get that! I'm immersed in rhythm with 2 boys, 3 and 7.. food is a huge part of our life lol, we prep a lot and try to be set up for success which is helpful for the lack of 'healthy' options these days. Even at play groups there are fishy crackers.. speaking of I should make some, its been a while ;) I too took a cooking class in Thailand and it was an incredible experience! A huge take away was when we used a can of coconut milk to start the 'Cashew Chicken" , it curdled> evaporated milk solids and then it became pure coconut oil, then we started frying onion, ginger... was delicious, I was there for 1 month and would love to go back one day! How about you?
