Introducing the Best Thing to Ever Happen to Gift Baskets: Valleybrink Road

This giveaway is now closed.

Barrett Prendergast had been cooking as a hobby for over 12 years. She hadn't really thought about it in terms of a career after working in the fashion industry for a long time.

Then, about a year ago, her friends started asking her for recipes and pushing her to start a blog so they could go online and get them more easily. That's when she started Valleybrink Road.

At first, it started as a blog where Barrett shared her recipes with friends. But pretty quickly after it launched, she started getting inquiries about whether she catered events. "I just started saying yes to everything," Barrett tells Kitchen Daily. "Very quickly, within the span of a year, I totally changed my career. Now I'm a chef and a caterer and I also do these custom gift boxes. So it was all a pretty quick, kind of organic transformation that took on a life of its own once I started my site."
