“Food is more than just nutrition for our bodies. It nourishes the soul. It brings people together. The art of cooking can be passed and shared down for many generations. A certain bite of a dish can bring you back to a moment in time…”

‍ ‍Welcome to Kiera’s Kitchen, I’m Kiera. I’m not sure how many people actually read the about me’s but if you’re here i’m glad. I am just a self-taught cook who loves the whole art of cooking and food, and want to share it with everyone. My love of food truly began when I started watching Food Network with my mom back in high school. On weekends we would sit on the couch and eat our lunch, watching our favorites like Bobby Flay, Giada and Rachael Ray. I would then take what I learned on there and try to remake the dishes for my family. One dish I remember particularly wanting to make were these ricotta stuffed zucchini blossoms from Giada. I have still yet to make them and they WILL be here on KKB Food one day, with my own twist.

I have a very creative mind that can often times be manic. So when I start to create, I become all in. I started collecting cookbooks, watching food network and the show Chopped all day long. Going into my twenties I decided to begin making my hobby into a passion. I bought my first cookbook Half Baked Harvest. I watched YouTube videos all day long, trying to perfect dishes from the hands of people familiar with the origins and culture. I thought out recipes all day long, and invested in my first real camera and iPad. I was nervous to create a page on social media, but one day I went for it and KKB Food was born.

I spent my twenties cooking for whoever would let me. Having my parents taste test all my new ideas. Catering a huge family party for all my aunts, uncles, cousins with trays and trays of food I made myself the night before. Holding dinner down my parents basement with different courses set up on an old little table for my girlfriends, “The Basement Dinners.” Bringing dishes to every event I can. About twenty-three is when I decided I wanted to create a cook-book. The ideas were flooding out of me. Recipes, design, layouts, promotions. The notebooks were filling up. And in the early stages I got pregnant. My life changed in a blink of an eye. Motherhood became my main purpose, and my sons Tristan and then Jayce were my world. Along with my husband Michael. I dedicated myself to being a wife, a mother, and kept working my office job as an office administrator for IATSE Stagehands.

Fast forward a few years. It’s 2026. I have 14k followers on tik-tok. I’ve created a facebook, instagram and youtube where I share my cooking. AND I was casted on my very first TV SHOW. A cooking competition where home cooks in the Philadelphia are compete to get their recipes on a real restaurant menu - Recipe Philly.

I’ve shared my cooking all over social media, but it’s time to create a space where my followers can go back time and time again to make their favorite Kiera’s Kitchen recipes. So welcome to my digital cookbook - hope you stay awhile :)
