My Story

I grew up in a small town in Illinois and have always had a love for food and cooking. I watched my mom cooking starting at a young age and was eager to learn how to create the same delicious dishes she did. I’ve spent the last 18 years as a professional chef and now have 2 little girls of my own to teach how to cook.

I realized my love for food photography in 2019. At the end of 2019 I started a food photography course called Foodtography School. That is where I learned all of my food photography skills thus far. I am now an affiliate for Foodtography School! As I started with food photography I realized I could be sharing the recipes along with my photos and that’s how In Krista’s Kitchen was born!

I hope you love these recipes as much as I do and find helpful tips here to make your cooking experience more pleasant!
