IPC Kitchen Tour

This November marks my three years as a church cook at Independent Presbyterian Church. It has been a tremendous blessing to be able to serve here. The church leadership and the congregation have shown me such grace and gratitude, and it has been a wonderful, yet humbling time.

My job to cook and serve God's people has been deeply satisfying; more than any catering events I have done in the past. It has been a joy to serve His church.

Here is the beautiful kitchen I work in. This 700sq. feet space was remodeled about ten years ago. Want to take a peek?

I love the label maker! It's so convenient (I would label my four children if I could get away with it!)

This magnetic strip keeps the knives so handy.

Twelve gas burners....

And this is THE wonderful dishwasher, almost as wonderful as my hubby. It washes, rinses, and sanitizes in 15 seconds per cycle! I have been trying to convince my husband that I NEED one in my home kitchen.

In the well stocked pantry are spices.....I can't live without'em.

And grits. We Southerners can eat a lot of it, too.

More labels....Did I tell you that I love the label maker?


Deep sinks,

Two convection ovens and two regular,

Six steamers wells, and bread warmer (but used for storage)....

And this is the prep table where all the action takes place.

Thank you, IPC, for grace and appreciation for this humble servant. I love being your church cook.

A little side note:

IPC has three meals a week, 49 weeks a year:

Tuesday Men's prayer breakfast serves about 30

Wednesday Noon Service lunch serves about 65

Sunday Fellowship Dinner serves about 300

And the kitchen staff and I assist with numerous church events such as

Annual BBQ

Low Country Boil

Mission Conference

Enrichment Service

Egg Hunt Breakfast

Christmas Buffet

And dozens of other events which require meals.
