Our Story
Imagine what you would get if you combined Marie Kondo and Julia Child. Well, that my friends is the Butter House Kitchen,
The Butter House Kitchen is a culinary optimization service created to make everyday cooking more enjoyable and to help you reduce food waste and lower your food bill.
In 2010, after more than 15 years in the corporate world, I decided to kick off my Prada heels, slip into a pair of ugly but very comfortable clogs, and trade in my laptop for a chef's knife.
It was an experiment. One year to do something that I truly loved: cooking. The Butter House Kitchen was born during this year. A year where I cultivated a garden at my home, learned how to slaughter chickens, gut fish while keeping them whole, and most of all I cooked a lot - for friends, family, and loved ones.
