Angela McKeller has been having a love affair with the kitchen as long as she can remember. Fortunately, this is an affair that most husbands DREAM of falling victim to!
Angela awoke one morning and made the choice that she was no longer going to try to love her work, but instead, figure out how to make a living by doing what she loves!
Angela's earliest memory of cooking was with her Great-Grandmother, Mom Buck, at age 3. Every Thursday, Mom Buck would come over and it was the highlight of Angela's week for 18 years! Mom Buck survived the Great Depression and would teach Angela shortcuts for simplifying the cooking process, how to build a meal with ONLY the ingredients in her pantry, cooking on a budget and WITHOUT a recipe! Mom Buck taught Angela that the kitchen is a safe place to escape the stress of the outside world and that it was also a great way to unleash her creativity!
Angela still calls Mom Buck for cooking advice today!
* In 2004, Angela was flown by executive producers of Hell's Kitchen to Los Angeles for the final round of interviews to audition for the first season of their reality cooking show. While she was very thankful for the opportunity, Angela decided that there was a better way to showcase her talent.
* In 2006, Angela found a recipe contest sponsored by The Blake House Inn, a Bed and Breakfast in Asheville, NC. She was ecstatic to later learn that she'd won 1st place in the recipe contest!
* With the advent of the YouTube phenomenon, Angela decided that she would upload "kook"ing shows to video sites. People have always told her that she makes cooking look so easy and they just love how "kooky" she is, so "KicK BacK and KooK!" was born!
* In the last several months, more than 100,000 people have seen her show!
Angela's show and classes focus on great food on a budget and take the guesswork out of how to choose the best gadgets for simplifying your life in the kitchen! Don't miss out on the fun!
Anything upbeat and lively! I love to listen to music while I cook. Gets me into my creative zone. :o)
Too many to list!
I love cooking shows, of course! However, I haven't had much time for television since I began my own show and writing a cookbook (which is now complete!).
Please watch me on Paula Deen's show "Paula's Party!" on February 8, 2007 at 10PM on The Food Network! It's CHOCOLATE!!
Cookbooks, of course!
Anyone who follows their dreams, sees obstacles as a challenge rather than a barrier and has a positive attitude, no matter what the circumstances. Namely, my husband!
