All of our classes are held within L'Auberge at The Edge of Seattle Inn.
We were the CitySearch editorial winner for Best Romantic Hotel for 2006 in Seattle.  We were also voted Best B&B Inn 2006 & 2007 and
Best Weekend Getaway Hotel for 2006 in the Seattle metro area.
You may be wondering what happened since 2007?  CitySearch has not had a Bed and Breakfast  Inns competition since 2007 for the "best of Seattle". 
 
Our class sessions are open to the public and can also be booked by groups looking for morale/team building opportunities.
 
My family heritage is French and I was raised to honor old country values, as such I inherited the "old country" belief that food and wine are inseparable companions.  It's a shame, but somehow food and wine became separated in this country.  Fortunately knowledgeable writers, restauranteurs and wine lovers have been doing everything possible to increase the awareness of the natural placement of a bottle of wine on the table accompanying a meal.  Yes, to truly appreciate a good meal or a good bottle of wine you do need the other, after all wine is a food, meant to be enjoyed as an integral part of both everyday and special occasion meals.  I think the most effective way to spread this message is by creating an exciting food and wine experience here at L'Auberge Edge of Seattle.  Below we have done just that!
Come and learn to cook from a Master Chef, take this opportunity to sleep in a one of a kind Inn that accommodates ten.  This is a once in a lifetime adventure.  It is a two night getaway package.  We are located on the edge of Seattle, secluded on five wooded acres. All accommodations are beautifully appointed and your Saturday cooking class for two is included in this package.  No experience in cooking is required to enjoy the class and to partake in the meal.  Sleep over and drive home safely the next day.

French Chef Sally McArthur

When you take a hands-on cooking class under Chef Sally's direction, you will learn a menu that is truly authentic, and get historical information on the menu and the recipes to boot.  Her classes will be filled with insight on the history and life in France...all the time filled with delectable scrumptious cuisine.  I hope you will take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn from an exceptional Chef de Cuisine.
