About the Speaker: Catherine Schmuck
Cathrine Schmuck
Catherine Schmuck is a multifaceted talent—sailor, restaurateur, blogger, photographer, cookbook, and children’s book author. Born to German immigrant parents, she embraced a life of travel and adventure, beginning her shipping career at the age of 19 on the CSL Frontenac. After 13 years at sea, she co-founded a restaurant in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, with her sister Lorraine.
In 2019, after 24 years away from sailing, Catherine returned to the sea and began blogging about her culinary adventures on board. Her storytelling and photography quickly gained a following, leading to the publication of her cookbooks, “Recipes and Stories as I Sail Through My Day” and “More Recipes and Stories as We Navigate Healthier Eating.” She also fulfilled a lifelong dream by writing the children’s book, “The Stowaway Adventures of Mitchell Mouse.” When she’s not sailing or writing, Catherine enjoys meeting her readers at book signings and events.
