Prepare and delight in sustainable seafood

Join me for two hours of cooking and conversation inspired by my committment to support local/ sustainable fish and seafood. So much of the beauty of the Pacific Northwest is tied to the ecology of our local waters and all of the creatures that inhabit and sustain them. It's about knowing how to make more conscious choices. I source almost all of the ingredients we use in the class from local farmers markets. We are incredibly blessed here by having access to a stunning variety of products produced by farmers from around the state. When all is said and done... it's all about what you begin with that determines the quality of what ends up on your plate. Begin with fresh quality ingredients and with simple techniques and minimal work you will have a truly memorable meal. For more than twenty years it has been my pleasure and delight to share my passion, purpose, and Kitchen with folks from around the world as well as locals. I invite you into my kitchen to share stories, laughter(maybe a glass of wine) and a great meal. Diane

Découvrez le soufflage de verre

While visiting the artist's studio, you learn the process of blowing glass, and basic glassblowing techniques including taking a gather, marvering, blow'n-cap, and shaping glass. The workshop is very hands-on, focused on the process instead of the final product. With experienced glass artists, you make 2 to 3 small objects such as a paperweight, ornament/float, and/or drinking glass, to take home. Glassblowing is a team work. We strongly recommend to experience this with another person. If you are solo, you may still book a spot. However, the single booker should expect to finish earlier. Best to wear a cotton top and cotton pants. Open-toed shoes are not allowed. Please bring a pair of sunglasses with you. Be prepared to be hot and sweaty, and to have fun! BYOB if you like. We can be flexible. Feel free to reach out to us to schedule a specific date and time or a private group if you don't see it on our calendar. Other things to note... Your pieces will be ready to be picked up in 24 hours. Shipping available with an additional fee.

Balade sur les traces du grunge de Seattle

We'll walk an approximately two-mile path through Belltown and finish up at KEXP's Gathering Space in Seattle Center. The many stops along the way make this an approximately two-hour storytelling journey. I've dug deeply for places where the essential music of the era was both created and consumed in Seattle. The course of a few hours gives us time to explore a workable overview of the grunge era in Seattle and beyond. Please bear in mind that you needn't be versed in the grunge era (which I bookend with stories that place the action between 1985 and 1996-ish). Or if you're a grunge music super geek, I still believe I can add to that with deep cuts and thoughtfully researched connective logic. All ages are welcome, although there will be opportunities for the grown ups to stop briefly for beverages along the way. In which case, the all ages ticket holders get to play in the figurative street. Other things to note People ranging from the most casual of music fans to the randomly obsessed have taken my Grunge Redux tour. You don't need to even like the music to learn so much about Seattle along the way.
