Your hosts at the retreat, Doug & Kendra

              

Kendra’s Kitchen Natural Foods, Inc was established in Telluride, Colorado is 1987.  Upon hearing a lecture at Boston University and how the telecommunications would change the way we lived and worked my entrepreneurial spirit lead me to the West,  my birthplace.  After travelling throughout the state looking for a place to call home and I discovered the majestic, rugged, San Juan Mtns and “staked” my “claim” for Kendra’s Kitchen Natural Foods.  Fortunately, I found employment during the “off seasons” in a hunting camp on the Aldasora’s ranch near Telluride.  Fond memories of 4 autumn seasons of living in a canvas tent, saving money for rent & electricity and for my first real estate purchase brings pride and smiles to my face.  During these four and ½ years I was Ralph & Ricky Lauren’s personal Chef, worked in children’s ski school, waitressed at night – the typical survivor of a ski resort town, 3 jobs to make enough money to “live’ during off seasons.  Kendra’s Kitchen kept growing from hunting camp, to personal chef, to concessions at local festivals, i.e. Telluride Bluegrass Festival, breakfast, lunch and dinner, 8,000 – 10,000 people, 4 days, 19 hour shifts with a line at the booth the whole time!  Then came the growth of Mt. Village, the Gondola, expansion of the airport, construction of the Golden Door Spa & the Peaks Resort and then there was a need for catering, personal chefs, caretakers, property managers and horse, house &  child care.   During this time, I served as personal chef/caterer to prominent executives, such as Kelso & Jo Sutton, former publisher to Time Magazine, Fortune 500 company, Luecadia Financial, The Smithsonian, Christie Brinkley and caterer to General Schwarzkopf and the U.S.A. Presidential plane departing from the Aspen Institute/the Ideas Festival.  My signature specialty, Southwest French Fusion Cuisine, a healthier gourmet based French cuisine, received much publicity and I was travelling teaching cooking classes, doing Chef Demos, fundraising and was a guest speaker throughout the West.  My original recipes are derivates from the classic Escoffier method, however with reduced sodium, cholesterol & saturated fats and Kendra’s Kitchen Rub & SW Seasoning is a repoirtoire in many of my recipes.   www.KendrasKitchen.com  currently offers a mobile concession commercial kitchen for sales of healthy gourmet breakfast lunches & prepared dinners, concessions at festivals, stocked fridge/freezer of home comfort meals at one of the  www.rockymtnrentalretreats.com, Weddings & Catering and of course sales of her packaged products; the very low sodium & no MSG Rub & SW Seasoning and the Healthy Gourmet BBQ Sauce that has no fat, no cholesterol, low in sodium & sugar and gluten free! 

24 years later, I am blessed to be introduced to my soul mate/husband, Douglas  Dillon, still in business during this tumultuous economic time, in good health and spirit.   We are looking forward to future growth of
www.K endrasKitchen.com  and the www.rockymtnrentalretreats.com  

Dougie moved from the Wisconsin area 4 years ago, grew up in Minnesota and went to school in both Minnesota and Wisconsin.  After raising his two children solo, working as a sales rep and as a manager in the auto industry, he moved to the West where his spirit longed to be. He now works in the Northwest part of Colorado in the energy industry, and in his spare time trades stock options which is his passion.

We hope to see you at one of the retreats!  

Peace, Dougie & Kendra
