Catherine Ann Cora was born on April 3, 1967. She was raised in Jackson, Mississippi, within a Greek and Southern heritage, where her family’s involvement in the restaurant business began forming her culinary interests from a young age. By the age of fifteen, she had developed a business plan for her own restaurant. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology and Biology before attending The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Her culinary education included apprenticeships with Chef Anne Rozenweig at Arcadia and Chef Larry Forgione at the Beekman Tavern in New York, as well as with three-star Michelin chefs Georges Blanc and Roger Verge in Europe. Upon returning to the United States, she served as Chef de Cuisine at Bistro Don Giovanni in Napa Valley.
Cora made her television debut in 1999 as a co-host of Food Network’s ‘Melting Pot’. In 2005, she achieved historical recognition as the first female Iron Chef on Food Network’s ‘Iron Chef America’, a role she held for 10 seasons. Her career expanded with voice acting for the video game ‘Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine’ in 2008 and co-hosting ‘Around the World in 80 Plates’ on Bravo in 2012. She co-hosted ‘My Kitchen Rules’ on FOX in 2017 and competed in ‘Guy Fieri’s Tournament of Champions’ in 2021. Cora has opened and operated several restaurants, including Cat Cora’s Que in Costa Mesa, California (2008), Kouzzina by Cat Cora at Walt Disney World (2009–2014), and The Ocean Restaurant in Singapore (2013). She also established Cat Cora’s Kitchen and Cat Cora’s Gourmet Markets in various airports across the United States. She has held the position of Executive Chef for Bon Appétit magazine.
Throughout her career, Cora has engaged in numerous partnerships and business ventures. Her first cookbook, ‘Cat Cora’s Kitchen’ (2004), reflected her Greek heritage and Southern roots. She partnered with Macy’s to open Cat Cora’s Que, collaborated with Disney on ‘The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora’ webisodes, and launched a line of hummus with H-E-B grocery stores in Texas (2014). In 2006, she became a paid spokesperson for InSinkErator Evolution series garbage disposals. She launched her own line of cookware in conjunction with Starfrit in 2011. Since 2016, she has maintained a partnership with Aramark, providing dining options under the names Olilo and Wicked Eats in various sectors. As a philanthropist, she co-founded Chefs For Humanity in 2005, an organization dedicated to addressing hunger and providing humanitarian aid globally. She is also an ambassador for Little Kitchen Academy.
