Introduction: Hi! I am Kathryn! I am a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America- in Hyde Park, NY. I am a certified personal chef as well as Food Handlers Certified in Missouri. Update (Aug 2023): I spent the last 3 years back on the road with Cirque du Soleil as their chef and catering manager. I then jumped over to PGA and CBS media catering for the 2023 PGA Season. I just purchased land outside of St Louis. Plans of starting a homestead with honey, chickens, goats, and a huge garden. Update (Nov 2019): I have recently relocated to Houston after traveling for 5 years as a private chef for a performance group. Most of my food pictures are from these events (not posted but can 100% be shared with you). I have done high end events to the backyard style BBQs. I am a professionally trained chef. I have been cooking for over 20 years and want to share my passion with you, whether it be a private lesson for a couple or an ongoing lesson for a child. I am here to bring the joy of cooking into your life. I enjoy privately cooking for clients. Small intimate gatherings all the way up to birthday parties and baby showers! Let me cook for you, share the passion I have for great food and take some stress away from you! My cooking style is southern (I was raised in the south and learned to cook from Betty Jean---- my grandmother). I put love into every dish. There really isn't something I CANT make. You crave it.... I make it. Cooking is my passion. The familiarity, the bonding, the memories - all the best are centered around food.

She deserves more than 5 stars! From start to finish she was excellent to work with. Offered me amazing menu choices, was accommodating to special requests, and the food was outstanding! Will definitely use her again.

Kathryn was amazing! The minute she arrived she started helping get everything ready for our event - she knew exactly what to do. She managed all the food prep so professionally and coordinated all the service. I felt so confident with her assistance I was able to enjoy the party and relax. What a gem! I'm very excited to recommend her to everyone - she will not disappoint!

Details: Birthday party • Fewer than 50 guests • 2-4 • Pass hors d'oeuvres / serve food • Clear / bus plates • Setup / cleanup • Wash / stack dishes
