Food Philosophy

Food sustains the body, and the community around a table nurtures the soul. The table and food together create cherished memories, and it is my pleasure to engage peoples' palates and personalities when I cook for them.

Table Gatherings is the personal chef service of Chef Katie Lyche, based in Houston Texas.

The following is a small sample of what Table Gatherings can prepare
