TWO COOKIN' SISTERS, based in Brookston, Indiana, is a small specialty food company co-owned by sisters, Kristi Robinson Rensberger and Kim Robinson. Both Purdue graduates (RHI’80 & HU’85) and 10-year 4-H members, the sisters decided to put their backgrounds in food and marketing into building TWO COOKIN' SISTERS. Their mother, Carolyn Robinson, also a Purdue graduate (HE’53) and the girls’ onetime 4-H leader, contributes her executive knowledge and endless support to TWO COOKIN' SISTERS. Their first product, BIG SISTER SALSA, is a pepper-based salsa with a very unique flavor. The first bite reveals a fresh, sweet taste that gives way to some tantalizing heat! The recipe includes the freshest and the best combination of sweet peppers, hot peppers and all the in-between peppers. In the beginning, the salsa was made in small batches for family and friends. The demand grew and the need to make the salsa in larger quantities was imminent. Food Specialties, Inc. of Indianapolis was contracted to make the BIG SISTER SALSA recipe. BIG SISTER SALSA was introduced to the salsa-crazed public in September 2001 at the Apple-Popcorn Festival in Brookston, Indiana. Two Cookin’ Sisters has been cookin’ ever since! BIG SISTER SALSA can be found at several Indiana retail and restaurant locations. Also, at local farmer’s markets, food festivals and craft show throughout the state. “We believe that all good food should be shared and enjoyed by all.
