Caring for our Community
For Katia, cooking has always been about more than just food; it’s about people. Giving back is woven into the heart of her culinary journey. Every Monday, she volunteers on the kitchen team at Gateway Church, preparing meals for roughly 100 guests participating in the Alpha course. It’s her way of nourishing not just bodies, but connection, conversation and community.
This spirit of service carries into every event she caters and every meal she prepares. Whether she is crafting an intimate dinner or feeding a room full of celebration, Katia brings the same heart, generosity and joy that she brings to her volunteer work. Serving others is her passion, and it shows in every bite.
