Drawing upon my professional culinary training and Haitian heritage, I am committed to delivering exceptional cooking and baking experiences to all of my clients. I take great satisfaction in the successful completion of meals and events, knowing that a delicious and satisfying meal can provide meaningful comfort to guests and their families. I welcome the opportunity to demonstrate my culinary skills in your kitchen or venue, ensuring each dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and the freshest ingredients for outstanding results. My goal is to create a personalized dining experience tailored to your budget, preferences, and style.

For me, cooking is...

the Art, science and craft of using heat to make food more palatable, digestible, nutritious, or safe. The love is overwhelming & is growing rapidly

I learned to cook at...

Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and my roots come from the Haitian women in my family.

A cooking secret...

A splash of citrus zest in almost every dish, adds a bright, fresh flavor without being overpowering. I treat all ingredients with care, cleanliness.

Chef Kati was a ray of light. We all loved her positive, upbeat, friendly personality. She felt like family. The food was delicious, from the bruschetta to the salad with her delicious dressing the crispy perfectly seasoned chicken parm and pasta to the apple galette and ice cream, every single bite was so delicious. We all sat and talked about how great every morsel was and what a great person she is! We will definitely have her back, just loved her!!!
