Welcome to the Cooking with Kip web site. Enjoy!

Kip Meyerhoff is a cooking enthusiast who got his start preparing family meals at the age of seven.  As a teen growing up in his father's New York hotel Kip rubbed shoulders with an eclectic mix of cooks and chefs who instilled in him an appreciation for good food.  Kip has spent a lifetime collecting characters and recipes to spice his repertoire of food related stories.  A childhood shaped by a gourmand father, interupted by two stints in the military, twenty plus years in law enforcement, time as a private investigator, bodyguard and security consultant, resulted in Kip becoming a restaurateur.  He now tells his stories to anyone who'll listen.
