Chef Bio
Katy lives in Dallas, Texas where she was born and raised. She graduated from Texas Christian University with a BBA in Marketing in 2006 and soon after began Culinary School persuing a life long passion for cooking. Growing up in a family full of wonderfully creative culinary minds she has always loved anything and everything that centers around food. There's something about the way food brings people together that Katy just can't get enough of. Ever since she can remember she has followed in her mothers footsteps, finding any and every excuse to throw a party and cook for the people she loves.
Katy's roles in the culinary world have stretched from Vice President of a wholesale Italian Food Company to Catering to baking and selling goods at the local farmers market to Personal Cheffing and recipe writing for the magazine EdibleDFW. Her food is inspired by all things that have been big influences through out her life. Growing up in Texas she has always loved Southern 'Comfort Food' and the nostalgia that it brings. While studying and living abroad in Barcelona, Spain she explored the different regional cuisines of the Mediterranean and the brilliant simplicity of pure, fresh, locally sourced ingredients. She has spent many years learning the traditional Mexican cuisine of her husbands family and can't get enough of spicy food.
