Meet Walt’s Mom, Dottie

Dottie is the heart of our story. She was Chef Walt’s Mom and the woman in the white chef’s jacket you’ll see across our site. His mom believed in fresh meals made with farm-fresh ingredients that brought people together, and those values became the foundation of Dottie’s life in the kitchen. With second-generation French culinary roots in the family, she was introduced early to the idea that cooking was not a task, but an expression of love.


Dottie refined her skills, experimented with recipes, and developed an eye for creating meals that balance flavor with nutrition. Today, the spirit of her cooking lives on through Dottie Foods. Soup, sauce, and every mix carry her flavors while making wholesome meals easier for families to enjoy without losing that homemade touch.

As we continue to grow, Dottie will host you through our site, sharing tips and reminders about making meals easier, healthier, and full of taste.
