MEET CHEF KAT

Hey there!  I’m Chef Kat.  I didn’t always know I wanted to be a chef.  I just know that I have always been infatuated with good food and loved a great party!   As soon as my mom taught me how to break down a chicken and fry it, the kitchen became my favorite place to be.  I can remember spending hours reading through my mom’s small collection of cookbooks and recipe cards, and I loved Saturday afternoons when my favorite cooking show with Justin Wilson aired on PBS.  At a young age my culinary interest was sparked, but it wasn't until 2004 when I decided to take my passion seriously and enroll in culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu, Chicago.  When I graduated, this was the first and last time I wore a toque, but it always serves as a reminder of the challenges it took for me to be able to truly live out my passion today. Now for over 15 years, I have shared my passion and exuberance for good food through catering, cooking classes and television appearances.  I am so blessed and thankful to be able to share my talents and inspire other good food lovers.
