SEQUIM — Chef Kathryn Kitts will present a free WOW! Working on Wellness forum on cooking at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10.

“Consciously Cooking with Love” will be presented at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

Kitts owns the Sweet Beginning Cafe at Olympic Medical Center in Sequim.

She believes it is the thought put into both the internal and external environments that allows the body, spirit and soul to be fed and nurtured.

Intentionally and consciously cooking with love has been her lifetime purpose and passion, she said, describing cooking and serving others as akin to a meditative journey.

Kitts graduated in 1978 from the Postillion School of Culinary Arts in Milwaukee, Wis.

Through her nearly 40-year career in three cafe and bakery businesses, a catering company and cooking classes she has created, Kitts figures she has had the opportunity to serve as many as 1 million people.
