Welcome to Kitchen to Kitchen!

Kat and Katie graduated together from Williams College in 2009 after four years of friendship in close proximity to find themselves continents apart.

Following graduation, Kat spent the summer working at St. Paul's School in New Hampshire before moving to Casablanca, Morocco for the school year to work as a Mathematics teaching intern at an American school. After school ended in 2010, she worked as a counselor in Switzerland for the summer and spent a brief seven days in the USA before moving to Bulgaria to teach English to incoming 8th grade students at the American College of Sofia. She is planning on moving back to Texas for a year in 2011 and is hoping to attend business school next fall. Kat never cooked anything other than quesadillas and pancakes before living on her own in Casablanca. She struggled to feed herself palatable food for a couple months before finding some food blogs that transformed her into a bit of a foodie who loved indulging herself in kitchen therapy. Now she lives in a cute pink house with three other girls who appreciate her forays into the culinary world.

Katie moved to Boston to begin work as a researcher on the theory and practice of responsible investment (she’d be happy to tell you more about what that actually means if you want to know). She’s moved from Brookline to Allston and now is firmly ensconced in the lovely town of Cambridge, where she lives with a in a house full of 1970s linoleum and fake wood veneer. Katie started out baking young with her mother and grandmother, and has mastered the art of the pie crust. Having grown up as the oldest of four siblings, she is also working on learning how to cook smaller portions.

Kat and Katie use cooking together as a way to stay in touch, make transitions from college life to the real world more manageable, and maintain our long-distance friendship. We hope that you enjoy our culinary correspondence!
