Hi! I'm Katherine. The kitchen is and always has been my happy place. With a culinary arts certificate from SF Cooking School, I am a food stylist, recipe developer, private chef, food consultant and entrepreneur in California and beyond.

Outside of cooking, I spend my time traveling, hiking outdoors, doing yoga, and seeking my next adventure.

Katherine was absolutely amazing easy to work with on the menu and the scheduling of the day as we were visiting the area for the weekend. The food was not only delicious but gorgeous to look at. She did not miss a single item even with my guests constantly chatting with her while she was cooking for us. It was a memorable experience. "Thank you, Chef,"
