I am a professional chef having graduated from the California Culinary Academy in 2007. I specialize in savory cooking, primarily French style with some Italian and other European. I have 10 years restaurant and catering experience. I offer services as a personal chef and teaching cooking classes in your home or place of business.

For me, cooking is...

As a child I pretended to be a chef running a restaurant. I think it is a life-long passion that is a deeply gratifying activity.

I learned to cook at...

My very first job which was a burger stand on the beach.

A cooking secret...

I believe that Food is Medicine for body and soul.

Chef Kate was GREAT! So sweet and the food was very yummy. Thank you again!

Chef Kate was outstanding!!! The food was out of this world, she did everything perfectly and exceeded our expectations. The meal was much better than even San Antonio's famous Palm Restaurant. Will definitely work with Chef Kate Sheldon in the future and have already recommend her to our friends!
