My name is Chef Kat Hickman and I am a private chef based out of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I specialize in taking home flavors and elevating them into 5 star dishes! You might recognize me from Sunset Sundays at Fish Co. in Providence, RI, as the girl with the club snacks, but here’s a little bit more about who I am and what I do.

I started my culinary journey when I graduated high school. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do yet, so I decided to start trying my hobbies. I started working in a small, mom and pop style, fine dining restaurant specializing in Low Country Southern cuisine. From there I worked my way from the dish pit to working the line. I fell in love with cooking and decided I wanted to learn as much as I could, so I worked multiple jobs in the field such as raw bars, food trucks, and country clubs.

I still wanted to further my knowledge of food so I decided to attend culinary school at Johnson & Wales University where I am currently in my junior year studying for a bachelors in Culinary, Foods, Arts, and Beverage!

In 2023, I had the opportunity to live down in South Carolina and work for Forbes Five Star, Kiawah Island Golf Resort where I got to further my knowledge in low country southern cusine, banquets, and upscale events. This past summer I also had the opportunity to work for another Forbes location, The Bistro and Wine Bar, at Mirbeau Inn and Spa, in Massachusetts where I was able to focus on learning the beverage side of the business to be able to bring wine pairings and craft cocktails to my clients.
