Christopher Kimball (born June 5, 1951) is an American chef, editor, publisher, and radio/TV personality.
Kimball was born and raised in Westchester County, New York, the son of Mary Alice White and Edward Norris Kimball. The family had a cabin in southwestern Vermont.
He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and then Columbia University (1973) with a degree in Primitive Art.
After graduating from Columbia, he went to work with his stepbrother in a publishing company. Soon after, he worked for The Center for Direct Marketing in Westport, Connecticut and also started taking cooking courses. After securing $100,000 in angel investments from friends and family, he started Cook’s Magazine from a tiny office in Weston, Connecticut in 1980 when he was 29 years old. He sold the magazine to the Bonnier Group in 1989 and moved on to other publishing ventures.
Kimball was a co-founder and has been editor and publisher of America's Test Kitchen, which produces television and radio shows, and publishes magazines, including Cook's Illustrated, which Kimball launched in 1993. It also publishes Cook's Country magazine, which was launched in 2004, and former publisher of the now-defunct Cook's Magazine. The company's revenue comes from its readers, rather than advertisers, which differentiates him from his competitors.
