Francine Ryan

Francine Ryan is the founder and sauceress of Francine’s Outrageous Kitchen, an artisanal food company with a simple premise: to share her passion for cooking and entertaining by producing something pure and extraordinarily delicious. After a career spent in marketing, sales, retail and strategic planning with some of the most iconic and successful magazine brands, including Country Living, Martha Stewart Living and Good Housekeeping, Francine became the president and CMO of the marketing/advertising agency The Ryan Group. She stirred up her first pot of hot fudge sauce more than ten years ago as an annual holiday gift for her posh advertising clients. Every year, people clamored for more. Realizing that every chocolate sauce on the market was full of unpronounceable additives, Francine launched Francine’s Outrageous Kitchen, which sells Fudge Sauce and Toffee Sauce with Bourbon that are handmade in small batches, using only the highest-quality, natural ingredients. They contain no GMOs, preservatives or artificial anything and are gluten free. For packaging, Francine’s uses reusable and recyclable glass canning jars. Next, she’ll introduce a Raspberry Coulis with fine French eau de vie. Francine says, “It’s the best feeling in the world to have a product that makes everyone who tries it smile and exclaim, ‘OMG!’”
