Instructor: KATY MONTI
KATY MONTI
After graduating from Syracuse University, chef Katy Monti actually began her career in the entertainment industry where she worked on the development of both studio and independent movies. While living in New York and Los Angeles during this time, Katy's love for gourmet food and wine grew into a full-time commitment. In 2002, Katy made a major change of careers by enrolling in the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone and moving her life to the Napa Valley to study pastry arts. The inspiration Katy took from the CIA, as well as from the local restaurants and wineries of Napa, was very influential to her ultimate culinary path.
Katy's post-culinary school experience includes positions at several notable Los Angeles restaurants including Sona, EM Bistro and Napa Valley Grille. She also developed a line of artisan chocolate confections at Michelle Myers' modern French patisserie, Boule, where her work gained local and national press recognition for excellence.
Upon relocating to Salt Lake City two years ago, Katy opened Sweet & Salty, a chef services company providing cooking and baking classes, private catering and personal chef services. As a personal chef and chef instructor, Katy is passionate about sharing her culinary experience and love of cooking with as many people as possible.
