She discovered her love for food while working for a small European restaurant. The chef and owner, although a little nuts, would let Katy back in the kitchen and taught her how to cook. Apparently the owner was pleased with her cooking skills because after only a few weeks, Katy was doing double-duty, as a server (the job she was hired to do) and cook.
Now she loves cooking and hosting small dinner parties. Her favorite thing to make is comfort food (the kind that makes you sleepy and content). Her favorite food to eat is burritos, “it’s like having a delicious Mexican vacation wrapped in a warm tortilla.” And her most memorable eating experience? A live 2” Pacific oyster. It was peer pressure from the rest of the staff, and after debating if she should chew or simply swallow, she finally got it down. Katy is still bitter they didn’t start her out with a much smaller Virginica oyster!
Katy lives with her fiancé, Geoff and fat cat, Kona in Seattle. She and Geoff consider the planning of their fall wedding a second full time job, but when she does manage to find spare time she loves crafts and restoring furniture.
Favorite Fruit: Mangos and Kumquats.
Best place to be (other than at the dinner table): On her super-oversized couch made for tall people. She’s 5’10” and when she sits on it her feet don’t touch the ground—it’s a wonderful thing.
Not-to-miss restaurants in Seattle: Matt’s in the Market
One thing she wishes she could like, but just doesn’t: Olives. She really despises them, and realizes she’s missing out on the entire Southern Italian food culture, but she’s tried and they just aren’t good.
Coffee order: Katy may be the only person in Seattle who doesn’t drink coffee. She does enjoy coffee flavored things, but not straight, black coffee.
Cooking disaster: She tried to make crab cakes for a party she was having, unfortunately they weren’t much like crab cakes, more like soggy crab mounds. But no one complained! |
