Hi, I’m Kimberly Killebrew. Wife of one, mother of two, cook of many.
Come travel the world through your taste buds!
I’m originally from Western Europe (Stuttgart, Germany and several years in Peterborough, England – moved to the U.S. 12 years ago), am widely traveled, and am now living in the Seattle area of beautiful Washington State with my husband and our adorable two children. I love preparing and experimenting with a large range of flavors and cuisines. Passionate cook, recipe developer, traveler and photo enthusiast, I love food – pure and simple! Being married to a doctor, I emphasize health and healthy eating. As a wife, full-time mother, and marriage & family therapist, I also believe that eating the occasional naughty indulgence contributes to happy and healthy relationships – and sanity.
Cooking has been one of my biggest passions ever since I can remember. My mom, a born and raised German, wonderful international cook, and my personal culinary mentor, involved me in her cooking adventures starting from about the time I was 4 years old. She instilled in me a love for good food and an appreciation of a wide spectrum of world cuisine. Many of my recipes are influenced by European heritage and my travels throughout the world.
I love developing original recipes, revitalizing classics, and demystifying the obscure. This food blog features a little something for everyone – everything from the simple to the complex, the known to the obscure, the healthy to the…well…not so healthy, the mild to the spicy, the carnivorous to the omnivorous, the near to the far, the classic to the original, the sweet to the savory…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!

Thank you!
Sheridan says
This is lovely and it all looks delicious! Mongolian Beef is on my menu this week. My husband and I eat gluten-free. Many of your gorgeous recipes look adaptable. Thanks!
The Daring Gourmet says
Thank you for you kind words and compliments, Sheridan. Gluten-free is a smart lifestyle and I’m happy that many of these recipes will work for you. Let me know what you think of the Mongolian beef!

Sean K. says
Hello, I’m Sean. I made your recipe for Tom Kha Gai soup. Oh my. It was wonderful and so easy. I have just started looking around your site. I can not wait to try some things. Thank you for the recipes.
The Daring Gourmet says
Hi, Sean! Awesome, I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I hope you do try some more recipes and be sure to let me know what you think!
Robin says
I found your site today when searching for a teriyaki sauce. Yours was delicious and simple to make. Can’t wait to try some of your other recipes! I really like that you have pictures of the steps in making your recipes, that’s very helpful. Thanks again!
The Daring Gourmet says
Thanks so much, Robin! I’m so happy you found my site! I’m thrilled that you made and enjoyed the teriyaki sauce and look forward to your feedback on some other recipes once you’ve had a chance to try them!
Julianna says
Just found your website while searching for a mongolian beef recipe and I have to say your pictures of your cooking steps look amazing. I am totally blown away by how good they are. I am definitely going to utilize your web site. Thank you for making it available to the public.
The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Julianna! Thanks so much for the compliment, I really appreciate it. I’m so glad you found my site and am excited to have you try some of my recipes!
Jamie Eppenauer says
Beautiful site! Love it!
The Daring Gourmet says
Jamie, thank you so much for visiting!
Hadster says
Just found your blog. Thank you for all your hard work.
My mother got me involved in cooking with Christmas cookies. At first, she would get everything ready and put the cut out cookies on the tray and then I could add the sprinkles. Then I could cut the cookies out myself, and then I could roll the dough. I would stand on a chair next to her and add the ingredients to the bowl as she instructed, and then – oh joy! – I could crack the eggs into the bowl..
I was 8 when I made my first batch of chocolate chip cookies, from scratch, without help. I’m not sure how she did it, but she stayed in the den and living room until I brought her my first batch from the oven.
Thank you for your story!
The Hadster
The Daring Gourmet says
Hello, Hadster, and welcome! That’s a wonderful story and some wonderful memories – thank you for sharing. My kids are 3 years and 18 months old and though they’re still far too young for most kitchen tasks, it’s really fun to get them involved in even the smallest ways. Yesterday I taught them how to sprout alfalfa sprouts in a sprouter for the first time – boy were they excited to be able to shake some seeds onto the tray! I’m looking forward to seeing their excitement as the seeds begin to sprout and grow. Now, if only they would be willing to EAT those healthy sprouts! :)
Melba dunn says
I discovered your blog 2 weeks ago and am addicted!! Made the chicken Wellington and it was unbelievable. I was truly amazed that I made such a complicated recipe and it came out so delicious. My husband, who never says anything good or bad could not stop raving about the dish. I also made the Carmel walnut and pear cake for dessert. It disappeared overnight! I’m making your coq a vin this weekend. Can’t wait! Love you kiddo. Keep up the great work.
The Daring Gourmet says
Oh, Melba, that makes me SO happy to hear! Truly, you have no idea! The Daring Gourmet just celebrated it’s 1 year anniversary earlier this week and it’s feedback like yours that makes it all worth it. So thank YOU! Best, Kimberly
Heather Bakke says

Hi, I just found your website while looking for a cream of celery soup. Looks easy and can’t wait to try it! Thanks so much. I’ve just started getting a box of organic vegies delivered each week and am excited about trying new recipes with whatever is delivered to me each week. Received a huge cabbage too and will try making cabbage rolls tomorrow. I have three young kids (5, 2 and 7 months) so love getting them involved in eating healthy food, cooked from scratch! Am looking forward to reading more from you blog! Cheers!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hello and welcome! Cooking from scratch is so rewarding and it’s a lot of fun getting the kids involved. I have a 2 and 4 year old and while my 2 year old eats most things, my 4 year old son is pretty picky. But when he helps cook the food he is much more likely to eat it. It’s great teaching and bonding time in the kitchen, too – even if it sometimes ends in disaster, which is sometimes does! ;) I’m thrilled you found my blog and hope you’ll return often! Cheers, Kimberly
Gabby says
I came across your website last night when I needed to remind myself how to make schnitzel! I, too, am half-German and grew up on amazing Bavarian food. Now I live 3000 miles away from my mom and that means I have to either go out to a German restaurant (thankfully there are a few in my area of San Francisco!) -OR- I have to make it myself. Yes, I’m finally “growing up” and making schnitzel at home!! lol Thanks for the incredibly easy to follow recipes and fantastic photos. As soon as I get a spaetzle maker, I’m going to be using your recipe for that, too. Looking forward to exploring your many recipes. So glad I found this site! PS Beautiful family–including the horse and dog!! :)
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Thank you so much, Gabby, and welcome!! I’m absolutely thrilled that you’ve found my site and have been trying some of my recipes. You’re fortunate that you have some good German restaurants where you live. I’ve yet to find one that serves good food, they’ve all been so disappointing even though they’re run by Germans. Looking forward to your feedback as you’ve had the chance to try some recipes. Happy cooking! Best, Kimberly

Great website! I happened upon your site while looking for a teriyaki recipe. I made it tonight and the teriyaki chicken was a crowd pleaser! I looked around some more and really like your recipes. Thanks for sharing!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Maureen and welcome! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the teriyaki sauce and even happier you found my site! I hope you’ll visit often. Best, Kimberly

I can’t remember how I stumbled upon your blog but I now follow you on pinterest and Facebook. Your recipes are always fantastic and reliable. Thank you. Got anything in your recipe box for a good broccoli soup?
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
I really appreciate that, thank you very much! I don’t currently have a broccoli soup recipe, but boy does that sound really good right now! The closest thing I have at the moment is a cream of broccoli soup – the recipe is actually Cream of Celery Soup, but you can directly substitute broccoli for the celery and have a delicious version of the canned stuffed that tastes MUCH better and is better for you.
Anonymous says
HI KImberly,
We are trying your celery soup, its being made right now.
Can we purchase a book from you the Daring cook.
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hello! Thanks for asking. I don’t have a cookbook published yet, but it’s in planning mode :)
Sara Bowling says
I came here for your hummus recipe and I’ve been browsing for an hour now! I’m primarily German and Dutch but like you I have some incredibly eclectic tastes. I’ve found some interesting spins on my moms German recipes I’m going to test out and I can’t wait to get a jar of preserved lemons going. Thanks so much for taking the time!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Thanks, Sara, I appreciate the compliment and am thrilled you’ve found my site! Welcome! You’ll love the preserved lemons. They’re practically a staple in my kitchen and I use them at least once a week. I look forward to seeing you around and welcome your feedback one you’ve had the chance to try some recipes! Cheers, Kimberly
David J Sapp says
Kim, you are awesome! I have made a few of your German recipes a few times, and I can tell you they are spot on! Thank You for helping me to share our German heritage with our fellow Americans!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Thank you so much, David, I really appreciate that!
Bill Regentz says
I was looking for a Béchamel cheese sauce and came upon your blog and was very impressed the way the page was laid out with recipe at the end of a very interesting story where the sauce came I always thought that it was French in origin, Thank you.
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Thanks, Bill, I really appreciate that. Welcome to The Daring Gourmet!
Dean Deibler says
Hello Kimberly,
Went looking for a recipe for authentic German spatzle and found it here. Loved it the several time I visited Baden-Wurtenburg years ago. Traveled to Stuttgart and Munich several times on weekends while working in Mullheim and always loved the food (bier wasn’t bad either). Can’t wait to try the spatzle recipe and maybe the hunters pork chops too. Thanks a bunch.
Dean & Neena Deibler

Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Dean and Neena – welcome! Those sound like some wonderful memories. If you like German food you’ll find quite a few recipes on my site and many more to come. The Hunter’s Pork Chops are fabulous, I can never get enough of the sauce :) Same thing with the Geschnetzeltes, it’s one of our favorites. Happy cooking!
Wrinkley says

please do try out some recipes from Pakistan…specially chicken karhai (chicken in wok) or nihari (tender beef gravy cooked on slow heat)

Karen Vahl says
I stumbled on your website while looking for a German red cabbage recipe to go with rouladen for my son’s birthday dinner. After spending an hour traveling through your site I’m so glad I found it! My husband, 2 sons and I lived in Hong Kong for a year (sabbatical) and in Edmonton, Alberta for 16 years. We were fortunate enough to travel around the world and loved learning new cultures and foods. Now I want to try your recipe for Gambian peanut stew, as well as the pickled beets, and on and on! By any chance do you have a recipe for sauerbraten? I assume that would be different from the senfbraten.
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Karen, I’m so happy you found us – welcome! It sounds like your family has had some wonderful experiences through the years. Like you, I love exploring the foods of the world. I will admit that it’s pretty ridiculous that I’m from Germany, have had this blog going for over 3 1/2 years and still haven’t published my recipe for several German classics like Sauerbraten, Rouladen, Maultaschen (especially considering those are three of my all-time favorites) and many others. They’ll all come in time though :) In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the recipes you try and look forward to “seeing” you around! Best, Kimberly
Karen says
I’ll be looking forward to the 3 recipes you mentioned. I had to look up Maultaschen since I had not heard of that and, oh my, it does look good! In what part of Germany did you live? We’ll be having rouladen and your German red cabbage in a few days.
For some reason, I’ve had a real taste for an Israeli breakfast. I really enjoyed those when we visited Israel many years ago. One can learn a lot about a culture through its food.
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Karen, I’m from Stuttgart. My mom is from Bavaria but lived most of her life in Stuttgart as well. I grew up spending a lot of time in Bavaria so I claim both areas as home :) I did a study abroad in Israel in my college days and for part of it spent some time in a kibbutz at the Sea of Galilee. I remember the meals we had there including the breakfasts, especially all of the fresh yogurt which I always loaded up on. What do you miss most about Israeli breakfasts?
Eunice Yi says
Hi Kimberly,
I am doing a project on my school project, and I am doing it based on your website, but
I need the below information….
Do you have a “professional title” or are you recognized as an authority?
Best,
Eunice Yi
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Eunice, I am a professional licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. As for the area of cooking, I have taking coursework in Germany and in the United States but am mostly self-taught. My recipes have been published in numerous online and print magazines, websites and I am currently working on a cookbook. Best, Kimberly
Lucie Wengert says
Love all the pictures of you and the family! All looking great, as always ;) And your list of “featured in” is pretty impressive! I’d love for you to be my private chef and to join you on all your travels!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Thanks, Lucie, you’re very sweet :) And you have absolutely no need for me to be your personal chef, the amazing French chef that you are!! I remember all your gourmet creations from way back when :)
Still, I miss you and would love to hang out together!
Tina Biada says
I am also from Stuttgart-Weilimdorf,Germany. I have been living in
Atlanta since 1988. I was born in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, worked in Feuerbach and when I was 26 I came to the States. I cook German and Italian food because my husband is from Italy and grew up in Germany. I signed up to get your newsletter because I need new ideas and something new for my taste buds. Glad I came across your blog!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Tina! We both came to the U.S. at the same age :) My Oma and Opa lived in Weilimdorf (Giebel) for over 30 years until they passed away. I’ve walked those streets and have ridden the Strasenbahn there many, many times. I’m so happy you found our site and signed up the our newsletter – welcome! :)
Rashmi Menon says
Hi Kimberly,
I was looking for a good recipe for fruit leather and came upon your website. You have done such a marvelous job with all of your recipes. I love how detailed they are in explanation and the pictures are just beautiful. Being an Indian living in the US, I browsed through your Indian recipes and they all are spot on. I will be visiting very often for more recipes. And the fruit leather recipe is fantastic…I will be making it for my girls :)Thank you again!
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Hi Rashmi, thank you so much for your kind words and compliments :) I’m thrilled that you found our site – welcome!
Duane Quinn says
What a lovely beautiful mother you are….
It’s so nice to see a woman married, having beautiful blonde children (instead of a dog, or worse…) and cooking great food…
The occupied/hijacked media has encouraged women to hate White men, get covered with vile tattoos and piercings, go serial whoring and never have children….
You ancestors are PROUD of you….
Margarete says
Hi Kimberly,
I found your website just before Christmas and am so impressed with this incredible resource! Thank for the amazing international cuisine and your thoughtful documentation of each recipe’s origin. Being “eine Schwaebin” from “Schwaebisch Gmuend” (about 60 kms east of Stuttgart), but living in Canada, I can say that your Peffernuesse and Hazelnut Maccaroons are spot on; my family commented they were the BEST they ever had :-). Baking your recipes made me remember my mother’s Christmas kitchen. An absolute delight. Today I prepared the Lemon Quinoa and Bean Salad .. so lecker ! I will be visiting often. Thank you again.
Kimberly @ The Daring Gourmet says
Thank you so much for your kind words, Margarete, I really appreciate the compliments. And I’m thrilled that your family enjoyed the Christmas goodies, thank you! I look forward to your return visit. Happy cooking and Guten Appetit!
