Start Cooking
Kathy Maister has been passionate about cooking, food, and teaching for as far back as she can remember. Kathy’s lifelong dream has been to inspire people who have never cooked before to say: “I can do that!”
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Kathy graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a major in Home Economics, then moved to Boston and became a Home Ec teacher.
When cutbacks meant no more budget for Home Economics classes, Kathy was afraid her dream of teaching cooking was gone forever.
Fast forward to the fall of 2005. While Kathy watched her husband David Maister film a series of business videos, she started thinking about all the people who are really smart, well-educated and clueless about how to cook. Despite all the TV cooking shows and cookbooks out there, there’s really nothing out there to help smart people learn the basics. Kathy recognized that videocasting could be fresh way to share what she knew, and the teacher in her came alive all over again.
In 2006, when Kathy Maister launched startcooking.com and the Start Cooking Video Cast series, it was her dream come true.
Today she’s busy writing the Start Cooking Blog, making the Start Cooking Video Casts, and otherwise living happily ever after teaching cooking basics to her heart’s content.
