Kristin Simmons

Owner and Head Baker
Kristin Simmons, is a wife, mother, and home chef. Kristin F. Simmons was started as a way to bring together all of the passions in her life.

Kristin was trained as a chef first by her father, who had been trained as a Cook for a Boy's Summer Camp. She cooked at home with her sister from the age of 5 and began selling baked goods at the age of 15. She studied Italian in College and took time to travel abroad. It was in Florence that Kristin attended her 1st formal Chef training at the Cordon Bleu of Firenze. She learned about Regional Tuscan and Italian cusine. She brought her expertise home to the Northeast and began supporting herself as a Graduate Student by Catering, Cake Making and Baking for a local Farmer's Market and German Bakeshop

Time passed and Kristin's passion for cuisine and flavor grew. She started a monthly cooking club & recipe exchange during her 1st pregnancy, and began writing in the Fall of 2008 for the York County Coast Star about her favorite restaurants, home cooks, tools and techniques.

Today she shares her passion with her 2 daughters, her "little chefs" and her husband. They reside on the Coast of Maine.
