Help us Meet Our Unexpected Match

There we were in The Kitchen Sisters office, when out of the blue, an anonymous donor, knowing that funding for public media and the arts has been stripped by the government in 2025, reached out to offer a $20,000 matching donation to The Kitchen Sisters nonprofit if we can raise $20,000 to match it in the next five days!

The Birth of Rice-A-Roni

The worlds of a young Canadian immigrant, an Italian pasta-making family, and a 70-year-old survivor of the Armenian Genocide converge in this story of the San Francisco Treat.

The Honesty Boxes of Scotland

Throughout the islands and out of way places in Scotland — along the rural roads, at the end of driveways, out on their own with no house nearby — you’ll find eggs, fresh baked bread, homemade jams, cabbage, cauliflower, scones, Victoria Sponge Cake, hand-knitted hats, you name it. If someone can make it, bake it, grow it, sew it, it may turn up for sale in an “Honesty Box.”

Hidden Kitchens Texas

Willie Nelson and Dallas-born actress Robin Wright, along with some wild and extraordinary tellers, take us across Texas and share some of their Hidden Kitchen stories. Gas station tacos, ice houses, Chili Queens, Stubb’s BBQ, cowboy kitchens, car wash kitchens, space food. With special guests Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Kinky Friedman, Joe Nick Patoski,  and so many more.

Rest in Peace, Amazing Grace Mulloy

It is with deep sadness and much love that we write to tell you that Amazing Grace Mulloy died on May 2, surrounded by her devoted family. Grace was 101-years-old and bowled til the end, making a final farewell to the lanes just two weeks before she passed.
