On this week’s show, host Caryn Antonini is joined by award-winning author and Chef, Carol Ann Kates. Carol Ann grew up in a corner market, learning and breathing the grocery business. In her adult years, she inherited co-ownership of her family’s grocery business and operated delis and markets in Northern Colorado. She gained valuable experience and as well as insight into American consumer grocery shopping habits. After a series of unfortunate events, the markets closed, however, Carol Ann preserved the family legacy by compiling the recipes she’d created for her family business and authored her first book, Secret Recipes from The Corner Market. She then went on to launch a line of gourmet products and ultimate penned her next book, Cooking Seasonally in Colorado. Grocery Shopping Secrets is her latest cookbook which focuses on teaching people how to reduce food costs and to properly store produce. Carol Ann has since retired from the food production business and continues to write historical fiction as well as a memoir.For more information on our guest:Homecarolannkates.com | IG @carolannkatesCaryn Antoniniwww.cultivatedbycaryn.com@carynantonini@cultivatedbycarynshowGet great recipes from Caryn at https://carynantonini.com/recipes/
