About Mitchum's Kitchen
Mitchum’s Kitchen was born out of the COVID-19 doldrums. I had been playing around with a bunch of different ideas using the name… A food line, a show… But nothing had quite jelled. Then, one day in early May 2020, I decided to make a Facebook group where people could come to get away from the virus. Away from politics. Away from their anxiety. A place to focus only on community and food.
Within a few days, we had over 1,000 members and people were excited about participating and sharing their recipes, photos, tips, and lives. It occurred to me that we could broaden the community and offer a place where people could come not only to learn about, share, and discuss everything culinary, but also provide a place where craftspeople could sell their food centric items and people looking to buy unique foods, utensils, clothing, books, home items, and more could come to shop.
Now we are a global community bound together by our love of cuisine! We share our stories, discoveries, and experiences while supporting small businesses and artisans along the way.
Welcome! We know you’ll enjoy it here.
Meet Carrie Mitchum
Carrie Mitchum is a chef, actress, philanthropist, and custodian of this website. As a child, Carrie spent much of her time traveling with her family as they followed her father’s film career across Asia, Europe, and The America’s. Carrie quickly discovered that while she often didn’t understand the language or the culture of the places they temporarily lived, there was a common ingredient amongst the peoples… FOOD! It was the one thing that brought everyone together and created both friendships and memories. Now an adult, Carrie is recreating the experience she had as a child and bringing people together to form a global community where everyone can share everything culinary.
In addition to curating Mitchum’s Kitchen, Carrie is co-producing a docuseries, a volunteer chef for both the homeless and disaster relief, an animal advocate and rescuer, a fundraising coordinator for various charities, a dedicated family member and a servant to her dogs.
