Chef Katia Soujol
Chef Katia hails all the way from Provence, France. As a young girl, she started cooking with her grandma in the countryside, including grandma’s traditional bouillabaisse and ratatouille recipes, to the kitchen. She then continued to follow her passion and ultimately graduated from the Culinary Institute in Nice.
From then on she garnered impressive accolades everywhere she went; from Master Chef of France, to Top French American Chef. Her nomad career took her to great Michelin restaurants in France, the UK, and Germany, and midway she joined Hilton in Colorado and later on in California, USA, combining her career with teaching Culinaria at the Art Institute of California and Long Beach Community College.
Her career continued to evolve as she spent time at famous Chef Pascal Restaurant in Newport Beach and served as Executive Chef of Pastis Restaurant in West Hollywood, California, later relocating to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, a Four-Seasons Resort in glamorous Beverly Hills. That adventure, along with many others, including; cooking in Hawaii, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and India, appearing in many magazines, radio and TV shows, promoting her special recipes.
Notably, she has had the honor of cooking for both Potus B. Obama and Potus G. W. Bush.
