About Us
Our Vision
a Delicious Life
Kari’s Kitchen is here to foster connection and celebration through delicious food and beautiful kitchenwares. We’re passionate about creating meaningful ways to show care, gather with loved ones, and make lasting memories.
We believe that sharing food is a love language (and a whole lot of fun!)
Our Mission
Good Food & Good People
Kari’s Kitchen curates and represents a handpicked collection of specialty food and kitchenware lines, connecting boutique retailers with standout makers. We're passionate about sharing the unique stories behind each line and offering personalized support to both brands and buyers.
With a dash of Kari's good cheer, we are proud to support small business owners and bring together a community of people who love good food, good company, and good times!
With over 30 years in the food industry, Kari is a true foodie at heart — and your go‑to guide for all things delicious. She’s the founder of Kari Lee’s Specialties, an award‑winning gourmet baking mix company, and has proudly served hundreds of small business owners nationwide, from boutique shopkeepers to artisan craft makers. An industry veteran, Kari brings a wealth of knowledge and a joyful spirit to every partnership, making the buying process as not just strategic, but FUN!
Born and raised in Minneapolis, Kari is also a proud mom of two daughters (and one golden retriever!). When she’s not scouting the best in specialty food, you’ll find her cooking for loved ones or toasting to the good life on a lovely patio around the Twin Cities.
