Pike to Plate

Such a fun experience! If you're in or around Seattle and want a small private cooking class this is where to go. It would be a great experience just for fun, to celebrate a birthday or anniversary or any reason. Chef Jen reviews your dietary needs and let's you know the cuisines she specializes in. Then, you have a wonderful menu set up when you arrive and you dive right into cooking your meal with her. At the end, she lets you enjoy your meal with whomever you're with in private. My partner and I want to do this again with a couple of friends. Even if you're good on the kitchen, you'll learn lots about the ingredients you're getting, where they came from, and some history about the meal you're making.

Our experience with Jennifer was incredible! It felt very personal and she made us feel welcome the entire time we were there! She tailored the experience to my and my partner's interests. Additionally, she made everything dairy-free because I can't digest dairy very well.We opted for a North African-themed menu, because we did not know much about that cuisine. She taught us about the history of certain ingredients in North African cooking (e.g., how rose water was discovered, the differences in harissa pastes), and told us about some of her favorite vendors in Pike Place Market and the history of some of the stores. The food that we made was so delicious, and she shared the recipes with us!I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants a great date night activity and/or wants to learn more about cooking in a small setting.

We had a lovely time at our North African/Persian cooking class yesterday. Jennifer was a great teacher and host.We'll definitely be making the recipes again as we loved the salad, entree, and dessert. It was nice to be able to bring our own wine to enjoy with our dinner. If you're looking for a private cooking class, definitely consider Pike to Plate.

Wow! Where do I even begin to talk about how great this experience was? I have lived in Seattle for over 30 years and STILL learned so much great info about the history of the market I never knew! Jennifer took our request of what we were hoping to learn from the experience and built a personalized menu around it. It was so much fun to explore the market with her and learn as we sourced our ingredients. Once we got to her kitchen, she gave us each a job to do that incorporated the techniques we wanted to learn. We had a delicious 3 course meal with leftovers to take home. This experience is worth every penny when you stop and consider that, unlike classroom style cooking lessons where you might end up with others in the class that monopolize the instructor's attention, Jennifer's model offers a private learning experience that focuses on just you and your group. I will most definitely be doing this again someday with other friends who want to learn to cook! Thanks so much!

We had a strange request- help us learn more about cooking fish! Jen took our request and made a beautiful meal and educational class. We loved her kitchen and eating space. Her information and sorrows were great. We learned, enjoyed ourselves, and ate a great meal. I highly recommend Pike to Plate!
