FROM MY HEART TO YOUR TABLE

WELCOME TO JOY THRU FOOD

Hi, I’m Catherine — the curator and heart behind Joy Thru Food. I believe food should be nourishing, joyful, and full of flavor — not stress. That’s why I pour love into every dish I make, using fresh, local ingredients that taste as good as they make you feel. Whether you’re picking up a cozy quart of soup through our Weekly Nourish Program or inviting me into your home for a private chef experience, my goal is always the same: to bring comfort, deliciousness and joy to your table.

RECIPE CREATION
