Inherited Traditions

Hello foodies, my name is Josh Kemp! Growing up, my earliest culinary memories were forged in the cozy confines of my childhood kitchen, where I shared the stove with my mother and grandmother. It was here that I first learned the profound art of infusing food with love and care, a lesson that would shape my culinary journey for years to come. These formative experiences instilled in me a deep appreciation for the spiritual connection between food and those who prepare it.

Global Inspirations

My approach to cooking is a reflection of my diverse culinary influences. While I cherish the comfort of Country and Cajun cuisine from my upbringing, my culinary horizons extend far beyond the borders of my homeland. Traveling to distant lands allowed me to immerse myself in culturally rich cooking courses, where I discovered the vibrant flavors of Southeast Asia, the delicate artistry of Japanese cuisine, and the bold spices of Mexican fare. Each culinary adventure broadened my palate and fueled my passion for exploring the diverse tapestry of global flavors.

A Labor of Love

Although I’ve lent my expertise to restaurants and catering companies in Central Texas, my true joy lies in creating dishes meant to be shared with friends, family, and sometimes lucky neighbors. As I embark on the next chapter of my culinary journey, I envision myself as a food consultant, writer, and publisher, with dreams of once again gracing the prestigious James Beard Foundation house with my culinary creations. Join me as I continue to explore the endless possibilities of the culinary world, one delicious dish at a time.
