Kay Baumhefner is the chef-owner of Come Home to Cooking, where she teaches small classes in her professional home kitchen. Before opening this school, Kay was the executive chef at Della Fattoria Café and Bakery in Petaluma, which was awarded a rating of 27 (“extraordinary to perfection”) for its food by the 2007 Zagat Survey.

Kay is an experienced teacher who has been instrumental in creating and shaping a number of Sonoma County restaurants, while also working as a consultant on recipe and menu development. When her career first turned to cooking over thirty years ago, the only way she could get truly fresh, flavor rich ingredients was to grow them herself. Now she is grateful to take advantage of the abundance in our local farmers’ markets as the inspiration for her seasonal, country cuisine.

With their mobile oven in hand, Joel Baecker and Naomi Crawford make wood-fired pizzas at Bay Area farmer’s markets and private events. In addition to using organic ingredients for their dough, they also source products directly from our neighboring farmers such as County Line Harvest, Star Route Farms, Cowgirl Creamery and Prather Ranch.
