About
Kyle
&
Ashley
From the Garden is the husband and wife team of Kyle & Ashley Knies. Kyle discovered his passion for cooking while studying film in Paris; learning to cook on a hot plate in an old maid’s quarters, taking inspiration from the produce & spice markets around the city. He soon joined Ashley in New York City where she was studying to become a certified health coach at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Kyle then worked at Sacred Chow, a vegan bistro, where he fine-tuned his craft and saw firsthand that feeding people delicious vegan food is the best way to help animals and the planet.
After 5 years in the Big Apple and a culinary journey through South India, the couple moved back to the Bay Area. Kyle and Ashley spent their days studying bio-intensive farming in Sonoma County and their nights creating bold, flavorful dinners celebrating the bounty of that day's harvest. Soon after, Kyle became the head chef at Green Earth Cafe, in Berkeley followed by working as the R&D chef at Miyoko’s Kitchen.
