Clever Parents readers already know Emily Frye through her popular Eating with Emily column. One of the things we like about Emily is that she’s not only a dedicated foodie, but also a practical one as well. You don’t have to worry about having a million dollar kitchen to take advantage of her columns. And her columns are always chock full of clever tips for the busy, but culinary minded parent.
It is not surprising that Emily is a Pampered Chef Consultant. The Pampered Chef® was founded by Doris Christopher in 1980 based in part on Doris’ dedication to preserving the tradition of family mealtimes. As a home-ec teacher and mother, she recognized the need for kitchen tools that saved time and techniques to make cooking quick and easy. The Pampered Chef® offers professional-quality kitchen equipment through in-home cooking demonstrations by a sales force of consultants. “More than twenty years later, her business has moved to a succession of progressively larger facilities and, at the time of the Berkshire Hathaway acquisition, blossomed into a $700 million enterprise.”
