a kitchkat story
kitchkat was cooked up on a cold winter’s night in December 2009 when a few of my friends were talking about how they lived off of take out food. To me, this was kind of silly because it’s waste of money, not always very healthy, and can take a long time for the food to be delivered. I asked why they opted for take out? Their reasons: they didn’t have time to cook, they didn’t know how to cook, and they just didn’t feel like cooking after a long day of work. The idea came to me then. Oh my gosh, I thought, I love to cook (duh) and I have the time, so I could cook ‘take out’ for you!
From there, the recipe for kitchkat was mixed together. My ingredients: hungry busy people, a weekly menu, groceries, recyclable containers and a kitchen. I do all the cooking and delivering and for an entire week, my kitchkat clients can enjoy prepared food at the convenience of their refrigerator.
About Kat Basile
my love for cooking started when I was in fifth grade. I would come home from school and watch cooking shows. I watched them every single day until the sixth grade when I finally began to try out my own culinary skills. By the seventh grade, I was making my own dinners. My go-to dishes were pasta dishes. Can you believe I thought my best dish was spaghetti with cheddar cheese, julienned carrots and sugar?! Boy oh boy. By the time I went to college, I learned that I liked new foods like avocado, feta cheese and red peppers. Eating different cuisines was my favorite past time. A quick shout out to Boston University for having the most amazing and unbelievable campus cafeteria ever! Burrito lady, you were my savior. Thank you for always giving me extra guac! At the end of college, I would make a huge batch of food every Sunday that would last me for the week. Four years later, here I am doing the same thing for other people!
I am an avid self-taught cook. I graduated with a degree in Sociology in 2006—a degree that I’m pretty sure has little to do with making a mean barbeque turkey meatloaf. Cooking has always been something that has made me enthusiastically happy. I am so glad that I could turn my passion into my career.
a special thanks to my amazing friends and family who’ve been nothing but supportive and hungry for my success.
