My name is Catherine,
and I am the Ship to Shore Chef.
I am a cook, entrepreneur, and self-published author. I write a daily blog sharing photos of my days on various vessels and the meals I prepare for my crew. The recipes I cook, the adventures on different ships, and photos of the ever-changing scenery can be found in my first cookbook Ship to Shore Chef Recipes and Stories as I Sail Through My Day. I followed with a second cookbook More Recipes and Stories as We Navigate Healthier Eating. The book features recipes made without processed sugar, grain and flour. For the young ship watcher, I share my personal photos and stories which I had illustrated for a children's book The Stowaway Adventures of Mitchell Mouse. Now, I’m bringing Mitchell’s world to life in a new interactive edition of the same story, combining imagery created from my own photographs with video links to real moments aboard the ship. Join me on my adventures as we sail the Great Lakes, St Lawrence Seaway, Rivers, and East Coast.
