Rebekah Osowick 


If you asked me 10 years ago if I would be making a living from my kitchen I would have laughed, a long time.  But after becoming a mom, it became important to me to provide my family with meals that we could enjoy together and would allow us to be a healthy family.  I truly believe that sitting around the table as a family is as important to the family’s health as the quality of food that we put in our bodies.  So, into the kitchen I went.  I now teach cooking workshops to families in the Portland area, helping them battle some of their own kitchen problems.  I enjoy solving people’s kitchen issues such as not knowing what to do or what to cook, but I also love bringing creativity and fun into the kitchen.  Everyone has to eat, so why not enjoy the process of preparing food?
