Sophia Marie

Private Chef • Culinary Entrepreneur • Traveling Hospitality Specialist

Chef Sophia Marie is a traveling private chef and caterer, creating soulful dining experiences that go beyond the plate. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, but raised in McComb, Mississippi, she is a proud culinary graduate of Auguste Escoffier in Boulder, Colorado. Rooted in faith, she believes food is one of the many gifts God uses to shift atmospheres, heal hearts, and bring people together. Every kitchen she enters is not just a workspace but a platform to serve with love, purpose, and intention. What began as a tribute to her late mother has transformed into a faith-driven culinary journey. Today, she is the proud owner of Katered Eatz and host of “Southern Soul with a Cajun Twist,” a nationally aired cooking show that celebrates heritage, bold flavors, and southern hospitality. Chef specializes in gourmet comfort cuisine made with heart, and every dish she serves is an authentic reflection of who she is and the One who called her to this path.
