Kimberly Michaels is a passionate culinary artist who made a bold transition from a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry to pursue her true calling in the kitchen. Originally from Missouri, Kimberly’s love for food and cooking began at an early age, nurtured by the beautiful landscapes and rich flavors of her home state.

After earning a degree in Business from the University of Missouri, Kimberly worked for Bristol-Myers Squibb, where she enjoyed a prosperous career. Despite her success in the pharmaceutical industry, her passion for culinary arts remained ever-present, inspiring her to attend the Chef’s Academy in Indianapolis. There, she refined her culinary techniques and unleashed her creativity, ultimately committing herself fully to the art of cooking.

Now based in Indianapolis with her partner of 30 years, Suzanne, and their lively nine-year-old grandson, Kimberly is devoted to creating flavorful and innovative dishes that delight and inspire others. She relishes every opportunity to share her love of cooking and embrace the artistry of the kitchen.

Outside of the kitchen, Kimberly enjoys spending time outdoors, whether it’s playing golf, camping, or embarking on adventurous road trips. She also loves returning to her roots in the Ozarks, where the tranquil beauty of Missouri’s natural landscape serves as a constant source of inspiration.
