Heather Christo

Born and raised in a large family in Seattle, Heather Christo graduated from the University of Washington as an Arts major, and promptly left for culinary school in San Francisco. She attended the California Culinary Academy, Le Cordon Bleu, and graduated with honors. She was able to win an apprenticeship at one of San Francisco’s top French restaurants, which turned into a job as pastry chef. Heather soon returned to Seattle, where she opened her own catering company. She spent several years throwing spectacular cocktail and dinner parties as well as serving as private chef for her Seattle clients. When Heather married in 2006, she hung up her chef’s coat to start a family, and began her blog HeatherChristo.com dedicated to great food and entertaining. Heather and her husband Pete have been blessed with two beautiful young daughters, Olympia and Colette. When you don’t find Heather in the kitchen with her husband, girls and friends then she is puttering in the garden with the dog or writing her blog.
