Pasta 101
HANDS ON - CLASS SIZE LIMITED TO 6
Learn to make fresh pasta at home. We will make two versions of this common element of many traditional dishes. We’ll use the pastas with a home-made seasonal sauce and a Northern Italian style Lasagna Bolognese. Oh, and we'll probably figure out a quintessential Italian dessert as well. Sample Menu: Lasagna bolognese Fresh fettuccini with seasonal sauce Arugula salad Olive oil cake |

Private Brunch for Commons.com
One of the things I love most about kitchens is how a group of strangers enters and a "family" leaves. Kitchens are magical places where the preparation and sharing of food creates a unique environment for sharing conversation, lots of laughter, and occasionally some dancing. This will be filled with some wonderful dishes based on local ingredients and yes....bubbles will be available. Let's enjoy an extended lunch time so we can all relax and share some stories and laughter.
Sample Menus Items: Skillet Breakfast Seafood Crepes Savory Onion Bread Pudding Diane's Famous Deviled Eggs Pasta with Mushroom Bolognese Cured Salmon with Creme Fraiche For purchase: Bubbles Bubbles Bubbles wine, beer and hard cider :-) |

The perfect quiche and other savory pies
pie...it's not just for dessert anymore
There is nothing like a trip to France to do a bit of a quiche re-boot. I was reminded of how truly
wonderful this quintessential French meal can be. I've also been a fan of pies for years and savory ones are not something many of us think about. So here you go. And by the way, these make for some pretty good second meals too. :-) Classic Bacon and Cheese Quiche Chicken Pot Pie Tomato and Cheese Pie |

Cooking and Eating Local
A Celebration of Artisan Food
One of the treasures of Seattle and the Northwest, Pike Place Market is a trove of merchandise and vendors, many of whom have long and illustrious histories at the Market. Both visitors to and longtime residents of Seattle can experience the Market in new and wonderful ways with culinary instructor Diane LaVonne as she introduces you its vibrant producer operated stalls. Shopping the market with your private chef, you will immediately recognize Diane’s approach to food and friends, connecting to each other and the larger community. While the foods of the Market are the focal point of the tour, what makes the tour really special is the vendors who share their expertise and enthusiasm generously with Diane and her guests. As a natural storyteller, Diane can provide you with the context of these amazing people and their products. Based on more than three decades of relationships, these folks are not only collaborators in creating an innovative and committed “food community,” they serve as important resources and on-going inspiration for Diane’s Market Kitchen.
After discovering the market, enter the bright and spacious Diane’s Market Kitchen, take a seat at the counter and feel yourself relax. Prepare to be delighted as Diane demonstrates how to prepare an authentic Northwest meal with the wonderful locally produced ingredients chosen by and for you. When you leave, you will have a satisfied palate, a set of recipes and wonderful memories, a true taste of the best Seattle has to offer, the people of Pike Place Market, and a meal created with the gifts from the waters, farms and orchards which surround this gem of the Northwest. Individual or Group Reservations Available |

Simply Satisfying Soups and Stews
When the weather gets cold and rainy.....
When the leaves begin to fall, the rain hits the windows and the trees move and sway in response to the winds....those are the signals that fall is here. I love getting into the kitchen when it's time to "hunker down" to stay warm and dry. We have so many wonderful local ingredients to make hearty soups, beans, lentils, vegetables. So, pull out your soup pot, call and few friends and get out the candles just in case the power goes down.
Sample Soups: Potato Chowder Sausage and Lentil Soup Minestrone Creamy Mushroom Soup Beef and Mushroom Stew Tomato Soup Chicken Chile |
