Kate Baker: aspiring author, copy editor, proofreader, blogger, storyteller, chef, food & beer pairing junkie, manager, culinary mentor, Certified Cicerone®, and Beer Judge with a thirst for beer & food education. View my resume, here.

I am a writer. I fancy the thought of being a published author. I blog and tell stories about food, beer, and life experiences. I am an aspiring copy editor and proofreader.

I love culinary learning, which comes from great teachers. I love pairing dinners, having executed well over 250 in my career, and the thrill of matching beer (and wine) with food.

I am a BJCP Certified Beer Judge, sensory expert, and with my love of travel and learning about different cultures, my sights are set on earning future invitations to international beer judging competitions.

Having spent more than thirty years in various kitchens from New York to Boston, food and culinary chaos is in my genes. In my most recent endeavor, I opened a 200+ seat Beer Hall in the middle of the pandemic, helped build a state of the art draft system, and trained a young, talented, yet extremely part-time staff how to sauté, braise, sear, and about mise en place and food safety protocol.

I’d love to be part of your success and fun.
