Here is everything you need to know.
Who is Christopher Kimball?
Christopher Kimball was born on 5th June 1951, in Westchester County, New York. Later he went on to study at the Phillips Exeter Academy while completing his graduation from Columbia University in 1973. He majored in Primitive Art.
Moreover, Kimball took a job with his brother and worked for a few years at The Center for Direct Marketing. During that time, he enrolled himself in a couple of cooking classes.
In addition, in 1980 he launched his own cooking magazine which reportedly had an investment of nearly $100,000. However, Bonner Group company eventually purchased the company from Kimball.
Regardless, he co-founded America’s Test Kitchen in 1993 and worked as their editor and publisher. America’s Test Kitchen presently is broadcast as a television show.
In 2016, Kimball inaugurated his own company and named it Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street.
However, he soon got entangled in a lawsuit with his previous organization which claimed that Kimball started this new venture while still being on their payroll. He then sold all his shares in America’s Test Kitchen to settle the case in 2019.
Furthermore, Kimball’s new business currently has its magazine, radio, and television show where they create food recipes from all over the world.
