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:
1. Wine or beer is included in the cost of your experience.
2. Your host has two friendly Italian Greyhounds that live in her home.
3. As this experience takes place in Brittney's home, her husband may occasionally be present or come and go during your visit, but he does not participate in the 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!

I would not recommend this experience. The chef’s husband was there which we were not expecting, and although the chef kept reminding us to keep our stations clean, she had to shoo her two annoying dogs off of the counter several times with her hand then she touched the food. And dessert was store bought dairy free yogurt. Pick a group class. TRAVELING SPOON REVIEW RESPONSE: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and have discussed them in detail with Brittney. She acknowledges that after briefly moving one of her dogs away from the cooking area, she should have washed her hands before returning to food preparation. She sincerely regrets this oversight, as food safety is something she takes very seriously. We've also updated her listing to make it even clearer that she has two dogs in her home. Additionally, we updated the experience description to better set expectations regarding occasions when her husband may be at home, even though he does not participate in the experience. Regarding dessert, Brittney made a last-minute decision not to serve the homemade truffles she had prepared because they didn't meet her standards. Instead, she created a chocolate dairy-free yogurt with cocoa and maple syrup, served with fresh strawberries and toasted walnuts. We genuinely appreciate your candid feedback. It helps us work closely with our hosts to continually improve the guest experience, and we're grateful you took the time to share it. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

My husband and I booked the cooking class with our son and his girlfriend. We all had a great time and had fun cooking a healthy meal.

What a wonderful experience! Brittney and her husband welcomed us into their home for a spectacular 3+hour experience like none other. We got to know each other while we participated in preparing an impressive meal … and we got culinary tips along the way. Brittney’s culinary skills are amazing! Our menu: Sockeye Salmon with Walnut Basil Pesto, Spinach Goat Cheese Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette, Za’atar Roasted Carrots and Chocolate Tahini Truffles with Pomegranate Molasses served with Willamette Valley Vineyards Pinot Gris from Oregon. The tastes in all were amazing!!! Put an in-home dinner with a chef from The Traveling Spoon on your “what-to-do-when-traveling” list. That’s what we did in Seattle… and will do so for future trips elsewhere. That’s because Brittney said the company has participating chefs in cities around the world! Thank you Brittney for welcoming us into your home for an experience we loved!!!

My wife, me and our two kids visited Brittney's home and cooked with her on my wife's birthday. It was a wonderful experience! All of us got to take part in the cooking process, we learned a lot from Brittney, prepared dishes we otherwise would've never got to taste, and the resulting meal was delicious. According to my wife, ​"I don't think if we'd gone to any restaurant in Seattle, it would've been as good as this!"

I got this class as a gift for my birthday and it was such a fun and delicious experience. Chef Brittney is such a great teacher and just a very wonderful person to talk to. She gave us some useful cooking and nutrition tips too that I know I’ll always use in my kitchen. And the food of course was absolutely delicious! I know I’ll make this dish again in the future. Thank you for making this birthday so special.
