I'm kat.

My ancestors are Japanese and Ashkenazi Jewish, and after ten years of travel and exploration, my roots are currently growing in the lush valleys of the Alto Minho.

​

My creative practice is centred around the land, taking form as a relationship with food and craft. I am devoted  to working with my hands and following the thread of aliveness that I feel when there are raw materials in front of me. Whether that's paint, cloth, clay, or fresh produce, the alchemy of natural materials into objects shaped by hands is the neverending source of my curiosity.

​

I cook nourishing, produce- led meals for retreats and events, inspired by an understanding of the relationship between food, body, and spirit. I believe that we - the earth, the body, the soul - are all one, and aim towards a holistic approach to food that procetcts the health of all ecosystems.
