Karen V. Davison serves as the head chef of a fine dining establishment in Dallas, TX, where she strives to create nourishing, high-quality dishes. Karen V. Davison compares her role as a chef to the work of an artist or musician. Not only does she need technical food preparation skills and a strong sense of organization to produce consistently appealing meals, she must also have the creativity to combine flavors and present dishes in unique and attractive ways. She takes particular inspiration from chef Julia Child, who wrote, “Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”

From a young age, Ms. Davison spent time in the kitchen watching and helping her mother and grandmother cook. A graduate of the Culinary School of Fort Worth, she worked in several casual and fast food restaurants before opening her own restaurant. While that endeavor did not succeed, she gained valuable insights and experience in the restaurant business.

In addition to her work as a head chef, Ms. Davison shares recipes and cooking tips on her personal culinary blog.
