Hi, I’m Kimberly Killebrew.  Wife of one, mother of two, cook of many.

Come travel the world through your taste buds!

I’m German from the Stuttgart area of southern Germany and later lived for 7 years in Cambridgeshire, England, all the while traveling the world and absorbing as much as I could about different cultures, traditions and cuisines.  I moved to the United States in my mid-20’s where I now live with my husband and our two kids.  We live on our 55 acre homestead with a massive vegetable garden and fruit orchard where we grow most of our own produce with the company of our coonhound Huxley, our rabbit Buddy, 13 chickens, 7 cotton patch geese, and 10 very noisy Guinea fowl.  Having received my cooking training in Germany and England with specialty classes in France, Italy and Spain, I love preparing and experimenting with a large range of flavors and international cuisines.  Passionate cook, recipe developer, traveler and photo enthusiast, I LOVE FOOD!

Being married to a doctor, I emphasize health and healthy eating.  As a wife, mother and former marriage & family therapist, I also believe that eating the occasional naughty indulgence contributes to happy and healthy relationships – and sanity!

As I like to joke with my fellow therapist and psychologist friends, I now provide “food therapy” :)

Since its creation in 2013, The Daring Gourmet™ has grown to a place where millions of people visit every month for tried and trusted recipes.  By 2015 I quit my private counseling practice to run my website full-time and haven’t looked back since.  I couldn’t have done this without you, thank you for your support! ❤️

Cooking has been one of my biggest passions ever since I can remember.  I was taught to cook by my Bavarian mother, a wonderful international cook and my culinary mentor, who involved me in her cooking adventures from the time I was 3 or 4 years old.  She instilled in me a love of good food and an appreciation for world cuisine.  Though I later received training in Germany, England and the United States, it’s my mom who deserves most of the credit.  My Oma (German grandmother) was also a major influence on my progression as a cook.  As a young woman in Silesia (Breslau) my Oma trained as a professional cook and took those skills with her when she and my Opa later moved to Bavaria and later Stuttgart.  My Oma was likewise a fabulous cook and going over to their house for Sunday dinners were something we always looked forward to.  I grew up learning everything I could about cooking from my mom and my Oma.  When we later moved to England my love of cooking and training continued through my young adulthood and broadened through my travels throughout Europe.

My recipes are influenced by both my strong German and British heritages as well as my extensive travels throughout the world.  I love developing original recipes, revitalizing classics, and demystifying the obscure.  The Daring Gourmet features a little something for everyone – everything from simple to complex, popular to obscure, healthy and…well…not so healthy, carnivore and vegetarian, sweet and savory, classics and originals, dishes from every corner of the world, and simply downright good eats!

When I’m not visiting new places by foot, I’m traveling the world through my taste buds.  Come join me!
