Hi, I’m Chef Katie.
Katie Symons

I create refined, personalized private dining experiences with seasonal ingredients, global inspiration, and genuine hospitality.

I craft memorable at-home dinners that feel effortless for you and unforgettable for your guests.

Cooking has been at the center of my life for more than two decades. I’ve had the privilege of leading culinary teams in luxury hotels, fine dining, and large-scale events, and I bring that experience into every private dinner I cook in your home.

Whether you’re planning an intimate anniversary dinner, a lively family gathering, or a special celebration, I design menus around your tastes and the moment. My style blends refined technique with fresh, seasonal ingredients and flavors inspired by cuisines from around the world—so you can relax, enjoy your guests, and let me take care of every detail.

I cook with my heart, serve with passion, and watch everyone find their way to the dinner table.

What you can expect when you invite me into your kitchen

I bring people together through food

Cooking is my way of bringing people together. I focus on creating moments that turn into lasting memories through great food and genuine hospitality.

My roots are family and the table

I learned to cook by being in the kitchen with my family, and family mealtimes were always my favorite. That foundation shapes how I plan menus today—warm, welcoming, and centered on connection.

I lead with heart and intention

My kitchen philosophy is simple: I cook with my heart, serve with passion, and create the kind of atmosphere that naturally brings everyone to the table.
