ThisCooks!
I’m Kathy Kern and this is my journal of favorite recipes and the ceramics I’m designing and making for the kitchen and table.
They "cook" because they are the exceptional ones. The recipes are simple, allowing the ingredients to pop. They are exceptional in one of two ways - wow your friends and family, or, be soothing when they need some love.
I make ceramic art to bring a smile when cooking and serving food. In the gallery, you’ll find the things you can order or commission. But please be patient, they take time to make.
Comments are welcome, but remember rules. The rules were created when I flew to California from NY to take care of my niece (around 5) and nephew (around 3). When I arrived, my sister (their mother) told them that they had to follow my rules even if they were different than their parents’ rules. So of course they took one look at me and said, “so what are your rules?” Being totally unprepared, I answered, well, what do you think they should be?
My niece’s rule was #1, “we must go to McDonald’s and get a happy meal.” (for me, it is the fries - they “cook”)
My nephew’s rule was #2, “remember to think” (this rule “cooks”)
I added Rule #3 - “when I serve food, you say ‘oh Kathy, this is wonderful’”. (that makes this cook “cook”!)
