I crossed paths with Cathy when dealing with a diagnosis that was shaking things up for me. After bouncing around between doctors, I decided to take a more holistic route and started working with her.Let me tell you, her food changed my lifeit's like my energy, confidence (and a few lost pounds), and focus all got a boost from a diet that she tailored just for me.And can we talk about the magic of having someone creating delicious meals and bring them straight to your door? It was a game-changer. I worked with Cathy for a good year, and even now, whether I'm on the road or swamped with work, I still get her fantastic food.Cathy is not just a chef; she is a wizard in the kitchen, sprinkling a dash of joy, and hope into every meal. Her culinary skills and personal touch have made a lasting impact on my well-being.

Cathy has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. Not only does she create balanced and delectable meals for my husband and me, but she has also been an invaluable resource in introducing our 16-month-old baby to the most nutritious foods. Her ability to personalize menus based on our individual diets is truly remarkable.Navigating the culinary preferences of my carnivorous husband and my almost vegan diet could be a daunting task for any chef, but Cathy approaches it with creativity and finesse. She manages to satisfy our diverse tastes while ensuring we receive the nourishment we need.Beyond our daily meals, Cathy has been an indispensable asset during family events and small gatherings. Her professionalism, organizational skills, and strong work ethic consistently impress us. For all these reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend her exceptional work.

Cathy is a great choice for family that don't have time to cook but want to keep a healthy diet. Her meals are delicious, easy to defrost, and very practical for a fast meal at home. It's incredible that even vegetables are still tasting great after microwaving. We are loving every meal we ordered.

It's been a lovely experience ordering meals with Cathy Parise Personal Chef since January 2023. I really enjoy how she conducts our appointments to align my diet, given my goals and medical/nutrition restrictions. With such an extensive list of restrictions, Cathy was creative in providing options that kept me healthy and enjoying every meal! Frankly, it didn't feel like I had to give up some food. Her food is so DELICIOUS! :-D

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with a quick consultation (via ****, ***, or ********) to understand your preferences, dietary needs, allergies, lifestyle, and goals. From there, I can either suggest meals tailored to your needs or share my menu so you can select the meals you'd like for your service.
Once you approve the menu and book a date, I handle everything—from grocery shopping to cooking in your kitchen, packaging, labeling, and leaving your space clean and organized. My goal is to make the entire process seamless and stress-free.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified Personal Chef and a Brazilian Registered Dietitian with over 13 years of experience in healthy cooking. I also hold a Master’s degree in Sports and Movement Medicine, which allows me to connect nutrition with performance and overall wellness. My background includes clinical nutrition, food safety, and large-scale kitchen operations.
