Meet Brittney

Born and raised in Seattle and a University of Washington graduate, Brittney is a true Seattleite. She cares deeply about eating local food that is sustainably produced and is excited to share with you what makes Pacific Northwest cuisine unique. A graphic designer for 20 years, Brittney made a mid-career pivot to culinary and nutrition as it is something she has been passionate about since she was 12 years old. In fact, reading medical journals about nutrition is one of her favorite things to do! Brittney graduated from culinary school and is now a personal chef focused on cooking whole-food, plant-based cuisine that helps prevent diabetes and heart disease. Visit her in her beautifully designed home with a view of Lake Union to learn to cook and enjoy healthy food that tastes great!

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (2-4 guests) Meet your host Brittney at her beautifully designed condo in Seattle which has a view of Lake Union. Sip on a refreshing drink as your host shares stories about living in Seattle before joining her in her kitchen, a small but open contemporary space. During your Seattle cooking class, learn to cook a Pacific Northwest-inspired seasonal meal. As much as possible, Brittney uses fresh and local produce and seafood - using high-quality local ingredients is a priority. In fact, all her seafood from native salmon to black cod and shellfish is sourced from a local community-supported fishery (the only one in Washington) to ensure you eat high-quality, sustainably sourced seafood. During your hands-on cooking class, learn to prepare and cook fish, create a delicious salad, and hone the techniques involved in creating a puree or sauce that accompanies your fish. You will learn to cook three dishes from scratch during your cooking lesson which lasts about 1.5 hours. After cooking, sit down at the table to share the fresh, seasonal meal you helped prepare with Brittney. Enjoy your meal over wine or beer. Your menu might be influenced by Mediterranean or Asian flavors and include dishes such as cabbage and carrot slaw with a ginger soy vinaigrette, a furikake-crusted black cod caught off the Washington coast, and a miso parnship puree or parchment-poached salmon with chimichurri, and lemon and spinach quinoa salad served with grilled artisanal sourdough bread. Your meal concludes with a dessert such as an apple and blackberry tart, poached ginger pear or homemade honey lavender almond ice cream.

Notes: Wine or beer is included in the cost of your experience.

PERSONALLY VETTED REVIEW
A Traveling Spoon ambassador visited this host. Here is their personal review.

A culinary experience at Brittney's is not to be missed in Seattle! It is a unique treat to meet and learn from a chef passionate about the regional bounty in her beautifully decorated home! Brittney is a wealth of knowledge about local and sustainable Pacific Northwest ingredients as well as the area. She prepared a thoughtful and delicious fine dining meal that included furikake-crusted black cod, brown rice with shiitake mushrooms and a most delightful miso parsnip puree that left me wanting more...and I had to go in for seconds! It made me feel so good that the fish we ate was a sustainably caught local fish (caught the day before!) and that the meal was dairy free. Not to mention that the black cod we prepared was one of the most velvety, succulent bites of fish I had ever tasted. I feel like I finally learned how to cook fish the right way and hope to recreate it soon. The door and passage way to enter Brittney's building is a bit run down but as soon as you enter her home you are transported to a place where you feel welcomed and when you cook with her, you truly understand the culture and terroir of the Pacific Northwest!

Brittney was amazing host to me and my friend. She taught us Knife techniques that I didn’t learn in Culinary. I brought my old classmate that I haven’t seen since 1997. This Chef experience set a positive precedent because it helped set the stage for stronger friendship relationship.I would definitely recommend the Chef experience to anyone that is trying propose to someone,first date,or person that is not into social interaction.

Brittney is an expert chef and I was extremely happy to have been able to learn from her. Would recommend for all experience levels. Brittney also chose great ingredients and taught us how to select them ourselves. We were taught to cook halibut with an amazing chimmichurri sauce and more.

Unique experience you can’t get anywhere else! Our meal was so beautifully presented and tasted equally good! I learned several new cooking tips that I’ll use forever! Chef Brittney was warm and welcoming in her home! A must if you’re visiting Seattle and want a special experience just for you!

It was fun. But where do I start? I loved getting to help prepare the meal. Brittney is a great host, and talk about the view! Little sea planes taking off and landing on Lake Union. The menu was Pacific Northwest classic with a Japanese twist. Amazing food. Five stars.
