Although the crocuses are beginning to push through that cold winter soil, it will be at least another month before Portland markets begins to overflow with tender baby greens. In the meantime, we invite you to celebrate the relatively untapped bounty of winter that is locked inside root vegetables.

From the time Kristen could walk, she was going to the bountiful farmers' markets in Southern California.

Local farms and artisans have always been held close to her heart.

After working under the tutelage of notable chefs like Claudia Fleming, Marcus Samuelsson, Christine Ferber and Barbara Lynch, she has honed her skills and learned to focus on her distinct style.
Murray relocated to Portland in 2008 to open Lucier restaurant and since it's closure has worked at notable restaurants in town, such as Paley's and Fenouil. In addition she has been a consultant to Ten-01, Little T American Baker and Cryil's. Kristen has also been heading the pastry program and teaching at The Chef Studio since 2009.
