Feedwell Bakery

Feedwell Kitchen & Bakery is a dream realized through the friendship of chefs Melanie Abu-Nameh and Holly Ervin. Like many friendships, theirs began with margaritas–well, a margarita tennis event where Melanie probably had a vodka soda and Holly a gin and tonic. But, nonetheless, they discovered similar passions for family, friends, travel, and FOOD! This is where “Kitchen”(Chef Mel) met “Bakery” (Chef Holly).

Chef Mel has a robust background in the culinary arts. With experiences as a line cook, Private Chef, Executive Chef, Food & Beverage Director at The Hotel Kirkwood, and 16 years as a culinary instructor with Kirkwood Community College. Holly has a lengthy history of baking for friends, family, and fundraisers, with a focus on gourmet cheesecakes and decorated cakes. After enrolling in the Baking and Pastry program at Kirkwood Community College. Before Holly was halfway through her program, she and Chef Mel were already planning how they could combine their passions and expertise. And so, Feedwell Kitchen + Bakery was born!
