It’s not a joke when people say the kitchen is the heart of the home, it really is!!
Unfortunately (as all my friends know) the art of cooking has completely eluded me. Therefore I’m especially excited to welcome one of my dearest friends, Kersti Bowser as the first regular contributor on the LiveLikeYou blog!! Kersti and I go way back to our “old” modeling days with Ford. After gracing multiple magazine covers she decided to fulfill her dream of becoming a chef. I’m so proud of her!!
She now owns one of the top culinary and food styling companies in New York, the Gourmet Butterfly. It doesn’t matter what show you tune in to, any famous chef, there’s a good chance Kersti has prepared and styled the food that looks so perfect and delicious. She works harder than anyone I now, while still being a great mom and an inspiration to those around her. Here on the blog, Kersti will share how to design your kitchen like a chef, share her unbeatable recipes or sources, and take us all behind the scenes on shows like The View, or whatever fancy cooking show she is shooting that day.

WELCOME KERSTI!
Kersti worked for Tyler Florence for a long time. And since I’m such a nightmare cook they had me guest host an episode of FOOD 911 where Tyler teaches me how cook Swedish meatballs.
This is a little embarrassing but you can watch it here. The recipe it worth it. It’s the best meatballs I ever ate!! I had an all day lesson, but honestly I still have no idea how to do it.
This is food Kersti cooked and styled. These images make me think of a well designed room. Love it…food that’s this beautiful, and then you get to eat it too.
Kersti has worked with the best of them…
..whether it’s preparing delicious food for Cat Cora….
…or cooking Turkey dinner for the fab four “Queer eye for the straight guy”…
…working the behind the scenes of Ms.Willan’s cook book launch…
…the Ozzie Osborne show…
…setting up shoots for Sandra Lee…
..or making cookies for my favorite crush Elmo.
WELCOME Kersti – I’m so excited to have you on LiveLikeYou!!
P.S. Even if I have nothing in the fridge when she visits, she can whip up the most amazing things. And her annual delicious egg dishes at 4am after Knock Out are notorious…
…oh, and she is Swedish…
