Overview
A cooking experience that’s all about good vibes and building amazing flavors!
For the Love of Cooking is a hands-on flavor class designed for people who love good food, good music, and learning without pressure.
Join Chef Adunni of Taste Tutor in a beautiful historic downtown Seattle loft for an intimate cooking experience where you’ll cook in groups, sip a mocktail, and learn practical techniques you can actually use at home. This class is about building flavor, trusting your instincts, and enjoying the process, not perfection!
Whether you come with ya boo, ya gworls, ya dudes, or solo, you’ll leave having cooked a full meal from scratch, connected with others, and hopefully fallen a little more in love with cooking.
