Cooking with Class September 13, 2011

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 wonderful wineries. Through this intimate setting, guests get to know the chefs and learn their tips.

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, KIRO radio host who was 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.
