Chef Linda Orcutt came to Colorado from California where she hosted a cooking show on San Diego's premier morning show, "San Diego Living," which is now known as "Good Morning San Diego."
While traveling internationally for her previous husband's career, Linda discovered her passion for cooking and international cuisine. The intricate flavors and details each country and their dishes offered inspired Linda to explore them more by talking to chefs at different restaurants and cafes. Linda found herself making connections and began teaching culinary classes at the Ritz Paris, a legendary hotel located in the heart of the city! French cooking quickly became Linda's favorite and upon returning to California she couldn't wait to share what she had learned not just in France, but also Italy, Germany, Spain, as well as culinary techniques derived from her Filipino roots.
Linda began teaching cooking classes at the San Diego Library where a representative with San Diego Living approached her and she soon found herself hosting a cooking show called "The Kitchen Studio," which aired every Friday afternoon for several years!
After moving to Colorado Linda met her current husband, Jim. Having been a farmer and cattle rancher in Nebraska for 40 years, Jim not only brought his green thumb to Linda's culinary world, but also award-winning beef raised and processed directly from his cattle ranch. Together, Linda and Jim created "Thyme For A Taste" where they share their knowledge and farm to table food with others looking to expand their culinary skills, as well as their palates! During the fall, Linda focuses on teaching culinary classes in her home. During the summer, Linda and Jim focus on hosting farm-to-table dinners in the barn on their beautiful property, featuring different international dishes, fresh California cuisine, as well as comforting favorites.
