Chef Services

What we eat and put into our bodies daily has a powerful effect on our health. Whole, real, organic, and locally sourced clean foods can support you in feeling your best.

Do you and your family like delicious meals planned and prepared for your individual needs, preferences, and lifestyle?

Yes, we understand adults and kids can be picky about what they like.

Are you dealing with a chronic health condition, transitioning to a new eating plan, or eliminating certain foods because they are not working for you?

Cathy is trained in cooking for clients with varied needs, including weight loss/gain, low energy, vegan, dietary restrictions, multiple sclerosis, gluten-free, plant-forward, keto-friendly, cancer-supportive, and many others. She offers a bio-individual approach.

Personal Chef Service

For individuals or families, in your house, weekly, bi-monthly, or for a specified period to suit your needs. Cathy plans, shops, and prepares all of your meals in your home, packages them up, leaves storage/preparation instructions, and leaves a clean kitchen.

Contact Cathy to set up a consultation. Let’s talk about your unique needs, get your questions answered, and see if this is the right fit for you.

Cathy was spectacular. Each meal exceeded expectations, from the multi-course dinner to the packed lunch for our hike. As, or more, importantly – Cathy brought a special presence to the house and kitchen. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without her.

Cathy has been cooking for me for several years. I might be her most challenging client because of a diet that limits many food groups. Whatever the ingredient limitations, Cathy creates great dishes with whatever she is working with. People comment on how I look younger and strong. Cathy has graced my home with both her incredible meals and her positive personality.

Cathy made delicious vegan meals for our retreat on two occasions, and I’ve enjoyed every one of her meals. Her cooking has amazing variety, great flavor, and is full of healthy whole-food ingredients. I wish I could eat like this everyday!
