Cooking in the Barn series to benefit Children's House

Christina Orchid will once again host a “Cooking in the Barn” series this spring to benefit Children’s House.

The former chef/owner of Christina’s Restaurant who now instructs budding chefs at Seattle Culinary Institute, Christina will be teaching a four week series in May at Christina and Bruce Orchid’s Red Rabit Farm.

The May Series will focus on local products, and Christina says,”It’s all about a new way of cooking: Five ways — a chicken, a salmon, a cut of Pork. Five meals for four people that are delicious, tasty, economic and easy.”

Then the series is capped off with the Brown Bag Cook-off.  Learn how a chef thinks on the fly, how to create meals from what is in the pantry, the garden or the farmers market.
