Tell us about your culinary journey.
I was not a natural in the kitchen. I have made so many mistakes which I believe is part of my culinary journey. Each mistake has helped shape me into a better home cook. I like to think of myself as an adventurous cook. I am not afraid to try new things. I am a Mississippi native, I love to cook and eat and gather. It is in my DNA. My love for cooking and gathering was definitely passed down to me from my dad and late grandmother. Both excellent home cooks, who each in their own way taught me the value and importance of gathering around a table to share meals with others. It was a Saturday and Sunday event in our house growing up. Saturday night was always an adventurous meal and Sunday lunch more traditional. I hope to pass down that love for cooking and gathering to my own four kids.
Where is your favorite place to eat?
Gathered around a big table surrounded by family and friends sharing thoughtfully made food and delightful conversation.
What will our fans find at your booth this fall?
You’ll find useful and timeless organic cloth napkins, kitchen towels, dish cloths, table runners and aprons all handmade from sustainably sourced textiles. Everything you need to set a simple, lovely everyday table. I like to think of our linens, the same way I think of my favorite denim shirt. You can dress it up or down. Our linens play a supporting role to a beautifully made meal.
What are your goals for your business in the next year?
To get people excited about sitting down to a table and sharing meals with others, whether that is by a memorable table setting, or elevating mundane kitchen tasks by using our lovely yet durable organic kitchen towels.
What’s your favorite part of this food movement?
Supporting local food. Whether that is though local makers, local restaurants or local farmers. I love that we are returning to our roots and caring where our food comes from and how it is made.
