Mini bio
How it started.
Catherine went vegan in 2009, then changed careers to study Human Nutrition at Drexel University. She completed a dietetic internship through the University of Houston and passed her registered dietitian exam in September 2015.
Finding her audience.
She began sharing food on Instagram around the time she qualified. As that audience grew, recipe creation became her full-time work. She started the Plant Based RD blog in 2017 as a home for favorite recipes and client handouts.
From her kitchen to yours.
Her debut cookbook, Peaceful Kitchen, arrived in August 2024 and became a New York Times bestseller. Its recipes draw on the Mexican and Dominican flavors she grew up with, alongside practical plant-based nutrition. The same mix runs through her online work: beans, tofu, colorful vegetables and meals fans can make ahead.
