Personal Chef & Culinary Expert
Personal Chef & Culinary Expert
My love for cooking started with my grandmother in Brazil — a woman who could make anyone feel at home through food. After studying Tourism with a specialization in Food & Beverage in São Paulo, I trained in gastronomy at a renowned culinary school in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I then managed restaurants in both Buenos Aires and São Paulo before making Los Angeles my home. Today, I bring that same expertise and passion directly to your kitchen — cooking personalized meals for families and individuals who deserve food that's made with genuine care.
Every meal I prepare reflects not just technique, but a deep respect for your time, your health, and your taste.

REVIEWS
What my clients say
"Having Katia cook for us changed our week completely. The food is incredible and we never stress about dinner anymore. She knows exactly what we love and always surprises us with something new."
"She catered our dinner party and every single guest asked for her contact. The flavors, the presentation, the attention to everyone's dietary preferences — truly next level. We felt like we had a Michelin-star chef at home."
"Katia listens to exactly what you need. She adjusted every single meal for my dietary restrictions and I never once felt like I was eating 'diet food.' Real, delicious, thoughtful cooking. Couldn't recommend her more."

Absolutely. Gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, paleo, vegetarian, vegan, low-sodium — just let me know during our first conversation and I''ll design everything around your specific needs.
For weekly meal prep, a few days'' notice is usually enough depending on my availability. For special events and dinner parties, I recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance to make sure we have time to plan the perfect menu.
