Chef Catherine is amazing! She has cooked for us for several events over the past years and never disappoints. She has an awesome arsenal of menu ideas. We give her a theme and she takes care of the rest. She listens carefully to your needs/concerns/dietary restrictions then executes a beautiful meal that will blow you away. Not only does her food look and taste delicious, she makes food safety her priority. She has simply been a delight to know and work with.

We just had the most amazing meal prepared by Chef Catherine. She prepared a beautiful dinner for our roommate reunion in Canyon Lake! The steaks were perfection and the dessert was sublime!! Highly recommend !! They brought all the supplies, cooked, served and cleaned and we were able to sit at the dining table and visit the entire time. If you have the chance book Chef Catherine!

Lavish Cuisine is amazing! I worked with Nicole and she worked extremely hard to make a great meal that worked within my tight budget for 13. The food was delicious and a huge success at my event! I couldn't recommended Nicole and Lavish Cuisine more!
