Skratch Palettas

I am Nicki DesRosiers Thebault. I cooked professionally for 13 years, without any formal culinary training. What I learned on the job is as much or more than what is taught in culinary schools today. I’ve cut vegetables and seared fish at restaurants in Boulder, Colorado and Chicago, spending the majority of my career on the road and in the kitchen with Stephanie Izard of Girl & the Goat. I’ve slept on flour sacks in dry storage while pulling all nighters opening new restaurants and I’ve dined at some of the best restaurants in the world. My career is a well-rounded experience of food and travel and the memories and friends are irreplaceable. I now live in Boulder, Colorado (and work for the Skratch cafe) with my husband Aaron and daughter Frances. Aaron is a world class chef and you will often hear him referenced on Shared Plates (my free recipe newsletter). He’s the in-house voice of reason who will always give it to me straight when I ask “Do you like it?” Thanks for stopping by and pull up a chair, there’s always room at this table for more!
