Kristin Cole has combined her passion for food, events, and travel into a distinct cooking and teaching philosophy that infuses her cuisine and classes. It was during her time spent in Northern Italian kitchens that she embraced a standard of quality ingredients and simple, rustic dishes prepared with amore. This mindful, loving approach to cooking was further reinforced during her holistic path to wellness and through years of yoga practice and training. Kristin has abandoned precision in the kitchen in favor of using intuition and the sensory experience when handling pure, seasonally driven ingredients. She spends ample time at local farms, curating yoga farm-to-table experiences in a venture called wild soul. You can reach Kristin through her website, www.kristin-cole.com
