Storkbite Stew started out as something to occupy the days of a new mother who liked to cook.  That was then.

Now, Katie, mother of Storkbite is busier than ever.  She grew up in Southern Indiana in the middle of no where.  She had a mother that put a hot meal on the table night after night and her whole family always ate together.  She always wanted to eat in restaurants and order delivered pizza, but it just wasn’t available.  The need for good pizza sent Katie to New York City.

After leaving her longtime job in New York’s fast paced art world hunting for lost and stolen artwork, Katie finds that chasing a toddler and putting dinner on the table is a lot more strenuous.

She is a simple home cook who is somewhat experimental and inventive.  Her main challenge is to help others learn how to have great meals in their own homes because it’s much more nutritious and economical.

Katie has given cooking lessons and inspired others to take back their kitchens and cook for their families.

In addition to Stork wrangling, Katie is a knitter, makes Storkbite’s clothes and sells her wares on www.storkbitestew.com.
