Whether you've just joined us or have been quietly exploring for a while, we'd love to officially say hello!

Here are a few fun questions to get the conversation started: 🌿 Where are you joining us from? 👨‍🍳 What inspired you to join Chefs By Design? 🥂 Do you brew kombucha or enjoy other fermented foods? 🥬 Are you gardening or dreaming of starting one? 🧴 Do you make any homemade products like sourdough, soaps, tinctures, salves, cleaners, skincare, or body products? 🌱 Are herbs, natural wellness, or cannabis education something you're interested in learning more about? 🍽️ What's one thing you'd love to become more confident making in your kitchen? ✨ And finally... what's one fun fact about you that we wouldn't guess? While you're here... Have you had a chance to explore the Kitchen Reset Collection — a great starting point for everyone. 📚 Premium Members: Don't forget to explore the Curriculum Library, where you'll find our full collection of chef-led lessons, recipes, resources, and educational materials. 💙 VIP Members: We'd love to see you at our weekly VIP Thursday Coaching Sessions!

If enough members would like an occasional evening gathering, we'd be happy to add one! Let us know in the comments—we're building this community with you. Most importantly... This community isn't about being perfect.

Attempting the sourdough bread for my first time!! I have made traditional sourdough bread but never with Kambucha! Will post a picture of results (and possible failures)

Sometimes the smallest beginnings create the strongest foundations. This week we're focusing on something simple but important—understanding the equipment, ingredients, and why each piece matters before brewing begins. Confidence doesn't come from rushing. It comes from understanding why you're doing what you're do. One of our favourite moments was seeing the next generation join the conversation too. Watching families learn together is exactly why we created Chefs By Design Skool. This isn't about making the "perfect" kombucha. It's about building confidence in the kitchen, one step at a time. By creating a plan that's personalized to where you're starting.

During our Orientation meeting tomorrow at 12pm MST (link is located in the Calendar Tab on July 9) where we will discuss your situation and offer suggestions how best to organize your plan! Feel free to use this Kombucha Thread to ask any questions along the way. If you cannot make the meeting tomorrow we will DM you to set up a 1:1 video call. *First question: how much kombucha do you intend to drink each month? If you want to get a jump start on planning, here are links to items we recommend(you may find other suppliers better suited), each scenario is different so there may be options with each item. Refer to the Kombucha Ebook for more information. Here is a link to this post in the Summer Kombucha Brew Club (located in the Classroom tab): https://www.skool.com/chefs-by-design/classroom/c8fa438a?md=0d707cdf906345e59e1af0061bccf526 We look forward to embarking on your brewing journey with you! Booch-eers!

Hi everyone! 💙 In just 2 days, we'll be beginning a special guided kombucha experience together, and I wanted to personally invite anyone who's been thinking about joining us. Over the years, Tyler and I have realized that this has never really been about kombucha. It's about building confidence. It's about slowing down, creating healthier rhythms, and discovering that your kitchen can become one of the most empowering places in your home. For the next 8 weeks, we'll be guiding our group step-by-step as we brew, learn, ask questions, and explore what we call Beyond the Beverage—using kombucha as a gateway into real food, fermentation, and practical kitchen confidence. If you've been watching from the sidelines, wondering if now is the right time... This is your invitation. 💙 And if you know someone—a friend, family member, neighbour, or colleague—who has been wanting to improve their health, learn something new, or simply reconnect with cooking, I'd be honoured if you shared this opportunity with them as well. (Share your Chefs By Design Skool Link) We're keeping this experience intentionally personal so everyone receives the attention and support they deserve. Thank you for being part of this community and for believing in what we're building together. Register here 🫧 Kristin & Tyler
