Introduction
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. My passions center around healthy cooking with an emphasis on fresh and seasonal foods and cooking for optimal health and well-being. Outside of cooking, I spend my time traveling, hiking outdoors, doing yoga, and seeking my next adventure.
