Katherine Frelon
My passion is in creating beautiful food and sharing it with others. I have a reputation as a successful chef and regularly travel between the UK, France, and US to work with my clients.
I thrive on the buzz of being creative, meeting the challenges of cooking
wonderful food for large numbers of guests, in amazing venues with really exciting themes!
“An artist at work, precise and attentive to the smallest detail”
I share my passion for cooking all over the globe, so if you love food and wine you will definitely love my bespoke private gourmet days that can be hosted in the comfort of your own home or you can take a vacation experience at La Ferme de la Lochere, situated in the heart of beautiful Burgundy! Let me make a bespoke vacation just for you or you can enjoy the whole property as a simple self catering experience.
You will leave with the same passion for colour, smell and taste that I found when I walked into my first market and that inspired me to cook
fresh produce
everytime
Fresh, fragrant, local and seasonal is the key to inspiring dishes and happy faces.
It’s the reason why I cook!
The soft skins of the first courgettes, zucchini shredded into ribbons and served with fresh dill fronds and viola flowers all from the garden or the local market.
Heirloom tomatoes served simply with olive oil and lemon juice or sprinkled with cinnamon basil and swirls of rocket oil with a pinch of salt.
Get creative and and trust your instincts and you can’t go wrong!

Shop. Cook. Eat is my first cookbook inspired by a lifetime love of markets, cooking and travel.
I share the story of why I cook, what I love to cook, the essence of my style and how you can achieve it too!
