Testimonials: What my clients say

Cooking Parties

{The cooking party, "Small Plates inspired Feast" was one of the highlights of my sister's Bachelorette weekend.  Cathy was great to work with in planning menu, and catering to one of the girls who is a vegan to accommodate her.  All of the ingredients were sourced from local markets, fresh and delicious.  It was hard to pick favorites as everything was amazing.  Some of the highlights were, grilled steak  & grilled tempeh with Chimichurri sauce, fresh corn pancakes and local fruit cobbler with vanilla whipped cream.  The event was a huge success and we had a great time.

Cathy Vogt is a wonderful health guide and food mentor.  At our private class, which we set up at the Watergrass Hill Bed and Breakfast, we enjoyed preparing a fresh, flavorful, and fantastic summer meal, all the while gaining practical cooking tips and wise insights from her rich culinary experience. Cathy radiates deep personal joy, love of life and purposefulness, and the memory of our lovely (and fun!) time together will stay with us for a long time - as will the major enhancements to our food repertoire. Cathy is a truly exceptional person, and a food experience with her will enhance your life!

My whole relationship with food has changes; I enjoy preparing and cooking my meals. You made it easy for me with no fuss, adaptable recipes. I have more energy; lost weight and my focus is better. My body feels better and aches and pains have disappeared. Learning to slow down and enjoy what I’m eating has made a huge impact.

Thank you so very much for your help clarifying my goals. Your generous and concise guidance enabled me to establish a new view on eating and cooking. Your handouts are an excellent reference guide and your book creates a foundation for life in the kitchen. What more could I ask for? I have noticed stability in my energy, loss of achiness in my joints, and my moods are consistent. Thanks again!

Personal Chef Clients

{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 how I look younger and strong. Cathy has graced my home with both her incredible meals and her positive personality.
