Kim Warren has been around food all of her life.

As a young girl helping in her mother and grandmother’s kitchens, baking and selling homemade cookies to pay for a study abroad in college, and working in restaurants from the age of 16.

Kim worked at The Five Alls restaurant while in high school and while earning her degree at the University of Utah. It was here that she realized her love for fine food. She also spent 2 years working at Royce’s fine restaurant. Kim and her husband, Chuck, owned a pizza joint where she developed and made all of the desserts.

Over the past 10 years she has taken more cooking classes than she can count and attended the Cooking School of Aspen where she fine tuned all of her skills and began developing her own recipes and cooking style which she calls “Family Comfort Food”.

In January of 2007 Kim decided to change her career path.

Since 1987, she has worked producing and associate producing television commercials and live television broadcasts including Music and the Spoken Word, General Conference, and the Tabernacle Choirs concerts.

During this time cooking was her hobby and outlet.

However, cooking has now become her main career focus.

Since January 2007, Kim has been teaching cooking classes at Orson Gygi’s, promoting her cookbook “Family Comfort Favorites”, making television appearances including hosting the “Home Team’s Cooking with Kim Wednesdays” that aired last year on KJZZ 14, she hosts the series KUED Cooks for channel 7, continues to make several appearances on Good Things Utah and Studio Five as well as being a guest chef at the Home and Garden Expos, the Utah Chocolate show, and others.

For one year, she was the Food Editor for Wasatch Woman Magazine.

Despite all of the cooking and television production, Kim’s favorite full time job is that of mother to her four beautiful and very busy children. Kim is a Salt Lake City native and resides there today with her family.
