A little about myself...
My name is Katia and the first thing that comes to mind is, I love food! Almost as far back as I can remember I was cooking. My first creations were certainly not my tastiest, at six years old my cookies were referred to as 'rocks' but, that did not slow me down-- it just made me perfect them. After making lots and lots of little cakes in my Easy Bake oven I decided I liked the big oven better and moved on. I then proceeded to make every dish in the children's cookbook...until I got every single thing RIGHT!
While I was always interested in cooking, I studied art in school. I then started a gift basket company in college which evolved into a gourmet food shop and tea room, then a full restaurant and catering operation called The Silver Spoon. After 15 years I sold the restaurant, and in 2010 I opened a boutique catering shop, Gourmet Girls. My hope is to share my passion for all things food-related through this blog-- recipes, new cookbooks, entertaining, kitchen tools, ideas and inspirations. For more information about my new venture go to www.gourmetgirlsbr.com or email me at gourmetgirlsbr at yahoo.com.
