KARRON CHIPMAN “I believe cooking should be fun!” says Karron. “I am very lucky because my family will eat just about anything. This gives me a chance to create new dishes; therefore my cooking duties become a creative endeavor instead of a daily chore.".

In addition to her responsibilities as Food Editor of The Herald Banner in Greenville, Tx., Karron is a homemaker and mother of two sons.

A native of Tulsa, Okla., she has traveled extensively and is familiar with the cuisines of the Far East and Europe. While living in these regions, Karron took the opportunity to learn the various cooking techniques. She enrolled in courses which included Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Greek, and French cooking.

When Karron is not in the kitchen, she enjoys crocheting and oil painting. She has had one-woman art shows in Omaha, Neb., and Athens, Greece. Her paintings have sold throughout the world, and some have been sent on tours to be displayed in museums in Japan, Australia, Spain, France and Greece.
