Kimberly Van Kline never thought she’d be creating delectable meals for celebrities and royalty as a young girl learning to cook with her grandmother. A woman who worked as a personal assistant and cook to legendary Hollywood actress Margot Grahame. A focal point of her best childhood memories was helping her grandmother prepare meals for the family, and became the primary cook in her household upon her.
