Kena has loved both cooking and the outdoors since she was a kid growing up in Washington state. After beating renowned chef Cat Cora on NBC’s Food Fighters in 2014, Peay began combining those passions, sharing weekly Instagram videos she calls “cooking while I adventure.” With her gorgeous yet approachable recipes, penchant for spectacular locations, and magnetic personality, she’s drawn a community of nearly 70,000.
“As an outdoor enthusiast and chef, I’m passionate about diversifying the outdoors and the food we all choose to enjoy outdoors. I hope that by cooking on the trail, I can inspire people to get outside more, try new food and possibly cook a meal in the beauty of Mother Nature. Every culture experiences food unique to their culture, which is beautiful. It’s the love of food that unites us all. There’s something so magical about cooking outside surrounded by fresh mountain air and gorgeous views. It’s truly addictive.” - Kena Peay
