CHEF KATIE LEE DEBUTS AT NPIWFF 2025
COMFORT FOOD TO CULINARY STARDOM
Katie Lee’s journey from a small-town kitchen to culinary stardom began with family tradition and a passion for bringing people together.
In 2025, she will join the Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival (NPIWFF), where her approachable yet elevated cooking style will take center stage.
Katie’s culinary journey began in her modest West Virginia home, where family dinners were the highlight of each day. At just four years old, she stood on a stool to help Grandma Dora make biscuits—a memory that ignited her lifelong passion for cooking. Surrounded by fresh, seasonal ingredients from her grandfather’s garden and local farms, Katie learned to embrace simplicity, freshness, and the joy of sharing meals.
Katie’s approachable cooking style shines through her beloved cookbooks, The Comfort Table and Endless Summer Cookbook, blending nostalgia with ease. As a co-host of Food Network’s The Kitchen, she’s an Emmy-nominated star known for her warm personality and accessible recipes. Katie also hosts Beach Bites with Katie Lee on the Cooking Channel and frequently appears on other Food Network programs.
Beyond the kitchen, Katie gives back by serving on the Food Bank for New York City board and advocating for wildlife conservation with 96 Elephants. Her efforts show how food can unite and inspire communities.
