Our Story

Kim Schwarzkopf Owner

A spotted apron has stains of love coming from the kitchen…a splatter of grease from crispy bacon, a smudge of chocolate from cake frosting, a smear of green from chopping up spinach…all indicators of an act of service for our friends and loved ones.

We believe delicious food begins with delicious ingredients.  A Spotted Apron is proud to offer the highest quality cooking oils, vinegars, and spices the world offers.  We’ll show you how to put those quality ingredients together through our recipes, cooking classes, and catering, preparing and serving delicious food on locally sourced kitchenware.

Owner Kim Schwarzkopf inherited the gift of hospitality from her mother and the good Lord above.  She earned her degree in Hospitality Management from Purdue University in 1989.  After years of seeking out specialty stores for spices, oils, vinegars, and kitchenware, the dream of A Spotted Apron has become a reality.
