The T.I.K. Story
The Intuitive Kitchen (T.I.K.™) was born in 2008 from a perceived need for Eating Education© for kids and adults. We seek to inspire "culinary creativity and comfort for the community!"
T.I.K. presents a novice-friendly, realistic approach to "natural foods", meaning a wholesome, balanced way of cooking and eating. Nothing too crazy... ;)
We don't advocate any ONE way of eating; we thoughtfully address FOOD from shopping, preparation, presentation, health and lifestyle to the environment in which our food is prepared, including your kitchen!
Our (Life-Saving) Mission
T.I.K. wants to help improve the odds for the survival of Humanity and improve its Quality of Life. That's all. (Well, and to feel good and have fun in the process, helping others to remember the love and art of Cooking and Eating WELL...)
T.I.K. is about "conscious consumption", incorporating lifestyle and nutritional concerns. We foster personal and global responsibility. We encourage empowered improvisation with a healthy, affordable, and versatile pantry.
T.I.K. is a restorative kitchen. We treat feeding ourselves and our friends and families as a joyful event and as participation in the larger community.

Marissa's Story
SO, I've been in the food industry in "various capacities", mostly cooking, for over 30 years. (so crazy!) After all this time and experience I believe in balance in every way and my "relaxed-but-conscious" cooking style reflects that: mostly healthy, fun, and varied.
Caitlin's Story
My European heritage has allowed me to really fall in love with how delicious, homemade food creates a certain kind of love and togetherness in the home. After spending 15 years in the culinary and hospitality industry, I want to share my love for food with everyone!
