Vanessa Smith - Blue Ribbon Cooking

Vanessa Smith

Position: Advisory Board
Since 1995, Blue Ribbon Cooking School has been at the forefront of the Seattle food and entertaining scene, changing with the times, the trends and the needs of our clientele. Over the years our motive has been to bring the family back to the dining room table to enjoy homemade meals together. We’ve not only accomplished our objective with the vast variety of hands-on cooking classes and events that we host but we have also expanded upon it. After many requests we began a catering segment of our business that specializes in elegant catered events for both private and corporate clients. We have become most known for our bountiful family-style catering that is regularly shared at weddings and other events throughout the Puget Sound area.
Though we’ve grown to encompass all things culinary, even our more contemporary offerings such as corporate team building cooking classes are ingrained with our farm to table philosophy and the desire to bring folks around the table to break bread together. All of our events, whatever their format, are wrapped with the warmth and care of our personable staff, bookmarked with the indulgence of abundant food shared with friends around the table, and delightfully enjoyed as a fun and entertaining experience.
