Domenica Catelli        

Celebrity Chef, Best Selling Author, Organic Food, Health and Nutrition Advocate

As a Celebrity Chef and BigSpeak Exclusive Speaker, Domenica Catelli has positively influenced the way millions of families eat and prepare food across the United States with her tasty, easy and healthy approach to cooking. Renowned physicians including Stanford pediatrician Dr. Alan Greene, Dr. Sears, Dr. Dean Ornish and "America's Favorite Doctor," Dr. Mehmet Oz sing her praises.

Catelli's first cookbook, Mom-a-licious: Fresh, Fast, Family Food for the Hot Mama in You! was an instant hit across the nation. More than a cookbook, Mom-a-licious captures the heart of healthy eating for families and a "stick with it" mentality that leads to less fussy eating for children.

Catelli is also a recurring judge on Iron Chef America, a regular guest on CBS News, Oprah and Friends and Dr. Oz on XM radio. She has been featured in Vegetarian Times, Southern Living Magazine, and on Oprah.com.

Chef Catelli is the national spokesperson for the Organic Trade Association and is currently the brand ambassador and spokesperson for Safeway's O Organics line. Domenica Catelli was a featured chef on Fox News in Houston for years on the Fox Grill, educating viewers with her ingenuity and humor, and her culinary talents have led her to cook for such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts, Thandie Newton, and John Travolta.

Chef Catelli has also helped numerous companies further their goals in education, outreach and sustainability/green business, including Stonyfield Farms, T-Mobile, and Cooking Light.

Catelli is a member of the Chef Advisory Board - along with other celebrity chefs, including Jamie Oliver, Paula Deen, and Tyler Florence - of the non-profit organization Common Threads. Over her career, many well-known chefs have turned to Catelli's expertise when developing recipes. Her contributions are celebrated in the James Beard award-winning cookbook, Back to the Table, by Art Smith and can also be found on products in thousands of grocery stores nationwide.

During her childhood in Sonoma County wine country, Catelli's senses were filled with the memories of fresh, seasonal food. Chef Catelli has created unforgettable menus for several restaurants in California, from Laguna Beach to the beautiful Mendocino coast, where she served as Executive Chef of the organic restaurant Raven's at the Stanford Inn, featuring recipes from the estate's three-acre garden.
