Karen Diggs, Founder & Chief, is a classically trained chef, certified nutritionist, culinary instructor, and author. She studied at the California Culinary Academy (now Le Cordon Bleu San Francisco). After graduation, she worked for the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong and also helped to open restaurants there. Seven years later, Karen returned to the San Francisco Bay Area with her new culinary skills, ready for a shift from the crazy restaurant world. That’s when she found Bauman College, and enrolled to gain her certification in holistic nutrition.
Thanks to her time at Bauman, Karen got hooked on fermenting and became fascinated with traditional fermentation crocks. It was her fascination with the simple but elegant crock design, combined with her work as a nutritionist encouraging her clients to ferment their own foods, that eventually led her to an innovative idea. One day in the shower, Karen realized she could shrink the large crock-moat system and adapt it to fit on top of a wide-mouth mason jar. And that’s exactly what she has done with Kraut Source.
