Cooking with Class Fundraiser
Cooking with Class pairs 22 chefs with 176 guests, with each chef teaching
three 30-minute classes. Guests attend three classes each, to make a dish
hands-on with the chefs. Each dish is paired with wine donated by
Northwest wineries. Through this intimate setting, guests get to know the
chefs and learn their tips. The concept has been such a hit that the
concept and name have been trademarked.
In addition to cooking, eating and wine tasting, guests will have the
opportunity to participate in a raffle of culinary items and a small live
auction. John Curley, formerly of Evening Magazine, and Jeremy McLachlan,
executive chef at Salty's on Alki, will act as the auction tag team.
The event benefits Providence Heritage House at the Market and Providence
ElderPlace-Seattle, both programs run by Providence Senior and Community
Services, a division of Providence Health & Services. Both programs assist
frail elderly in King County. For more about these programs, go to
www.providence.org/pscs.
Being able to give the most possible money to the programs is the driving
force behind this event. The volunteer team procures donations for auction
and raffle items and wine. In an unprecedented act of giving, Salty's on
Alki has donated its entire banquet floor for the past eight years and
will do so again this year. The restaurant also provides a meal for
volunteers and appetizers for guests as they arrive. Local chefs donate
their time and product, wineries donate wine to pair with the chefs'
dishes, Pike Brewing Co. donates beer, and many local businesses donate
items to help make the event a success.
Each year, many of the same chefs and guests return. The event is fun and
casual, unlike many other more formal fundraisers, and no one wants to
miss the annual auction of Andaluca chef Wayne Johnson's wild chef pants!
