Meet Kayla

Newfoundland-raised, thrift-store trained, and cooking like every guest is royalty.

Kayla

Kayla grew up in Newfoundland, where people say what they mean and nobody leaves the table hungry. She kept both habits.

Give her twenty minutes in any thrift store and she'll walk out in a coat that looks like it cost ten times the tag. She cooks with the same eye. Good ingredients, no shortcuts, and a plate that looks like it matters.

Thrift to Table puts the two together. Find the look, set the table, cook the dinner, then take the whole show to the next town.

She also cooks for private dinners, parties and the odd beach table.

Her signature

The look
Fur, gold hoops and a red lip, pulled off a thrift-store rack.
The attitude
Tough as nails, with a sailor's way with words.
The table
Candlesticks, etched glass and mismatched china, all secondhand.
The crew
Carlos the chihuahua rides along to every episode. Brendan is behind the camera.
