Kimberly Renee

Kimberly Renee is an author, passionate baker, and lifelong maker whose books celebrate timeless recipes, engaging stories, traditional knowledge, and a touch of everyday magic.

Her vintage-inspired cookbooks follow a simple philosophy: Timeless Recipes. Simple Instructions. Real Kitchens. Delicious Food. Inspired by the well-loved cookbooks of generations past, Kimberly creates practical collections meant to live in the kitchen—to be cooked from, written in, flour-dusted, returned to again and again, and perhaps one day handed down to someone you love. That's why her paperback cookbooks have a deliberately vintage-inspired feel, with clear recipes, practical instructions, and charming black-and-white illustrations rather than page after page of glossy food photography. She wants to create the kind of cookbooks you actually use—and maybe someday hand down to someone you love.

Beyond the kitchen, Kimberly is an avid storyteller who writes cozy mysteries filled with charming communities, memorable characters, friendship, humor, intriguing secrets, and plenty of reasons to read “just one more chapter.” She loves creating fictional places readers can escape to, settle into, and look forward to visiting again.

Kimberly's non-fiction and natural magic books reflect her curiosity about herbs and plants, folklore, seasonal traditions, traditional skills, practical knowledge, and humanity's enduring connection with the natural world. She is especially fascinated by the knowledge carried through generations—a treasured recipe, an old story, a useful skill, an herbal tradition, or a familiar seasonal ritual that connects us with those who came before.

Though her books may travel from a flour-dusted vintage kitchen to a charming mystery-filled town or a garden rich with folklore and natural magic, they share the same heart: a love of tradition, creativity, useful knowledge, storytelling, and the small rituals that make everyday life memorable.

Kimberly believes books should be experienced, not simply owned. A cookbook should become part of your kitchen. A mystery should keep you turning pages past bedtime. And a non-fiction book should leave you knowing something new—or believing you can do something you couldn't do before.

Timeless recipes. Engaging stories. Practical knowledge. A touch of everyday magic. Books created with heart.
