Transform Cooking with Sole Cookware's Cardinal Knife. Join the Kickstarter
Meet Lily.
Founder of Sole Cookware
I believe that I have the skills to create a successful company; I am both a trained chef and a gender studies major. I understand both the market as well as the needs of a chef. Currently, I am in the NYU food studies graduate program and am actively working with specialists and have created an award winning prototype that solves the hole in the market.
It began with a simple idea.
2019
On my first day of culinary school, I struggled with the pinch technique and realized I didn't know how to hold a knife properly, despite cooking my whole life. My chef told me knives are made for women, so I’d have to work harder. Determined to find a better way, I sketched a more comfortable knife design, which eventually became a prototype with the help of our amazing designer, Gizem.
