Katy Millard is the chef and co-owner of Coquine, a sophisticated, all-day restaurant in Portland that’s getting rave reviews. After living in Africa, Alabama, Michigan, Louisiana and France, she tells HRN host Dana Cowin why Portland is finally home. Then, their conversation covers fine dining, the refugee crisis, working with your spouse, and the personal disasters that fueled Katy’s success.

Katy Millard started her cooking career at Guy Savoy’s bistro in France, grew her skill set under the tutelage of Michelin-star chef Michele Troisgros, and perfected her technique at some of the best fine dining kitchens in Europe. A 2017 and 2018 James Beard Award Best Chef Northwest finalist, Millard’s foundation in French technique brings focus and intention to her cooking; striving for consistency, perfection and purpose in every dish.
