Kim Pezza, ‘Old Florida’ Architecture and Foodways Historian

Residence: Punta Gorda, Fla.

Background: Kim Pezza is the author of a series of popular backyard farming and food books, a recipe developer, and an advocate for preserving the architecture and agriculture of Florida. Growing up in the Finger Lakes region of New York, just a short distance from Lake Ontario, she also learned at an early age how to forage, a skill she continues to learn and hone in Southwest Florida. These days, she also develops recipes and adapts historic recipes for today’s kitchen.

Kim is purchased an historic home in an historic district in Southwest Florida needing restoration, much of which she plans to do herself. She is calling the project “Restoration Kitchen”, and it will be a combination of the house restoration, food, backyard farming, and saving history — her largest and most important project to date.
