Meet Chef Katy Parker of Austin! She will prepare a hearty fall menu for her featured cooking demonstration at the Dripping With Taste Wine & Food Festival on Saturday, September 8, at the Texas Hill Country Olive Company in Dripping Springs.
Chef Katy was born in Baton Rouge, LA, where she grew up surrounded by a family that has a very rich food culture..Some of her first cooking memories are making chocolate chip cookies and gumbo with her dad, and picking fresh tomatoes in her Pawpaw’s garden.
She worked in Houston at Bank Jean-Georges under Chef Bryan Caswell, then enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, completing the prestigious culinary program in early 2009. The day after her culinary school graduation, she moved to Brooklyn to start her new job at The Mercer Kitchen(Jean-Georges), under Executive Chef Chris Beischer, working in several different areas of the restaurant.
Chef Katy then moved to Austin to start her own successful private chef business. She is inspired by her clients and students who bring great ideas and enthusiasm to her cooking classes and private chef experiences.
