Lauren Feldman is an accomplished chef with 30 years of experience cooking in San Francisco, Italy, and Seattle. Her passion lies with honoring quality ingredients and maintaining a strong connection to agriculture and local farmers. The farm-to-table food cycle has shaped her career. Here in Seattle, Lauren was the Pastry Chef for Campagne and Cafe Campagne. She then was a private chef for several years before she worked at McCarthy and Schiering Wine Merchants to learn about wine. This led her to open Vif Wine|Coffee, an all day cafe in Upper Fremont with a focus on natural wines and house-made food and pastries. She also opened Petite Soif, a natural wine bar on Beacon Hill. Both businesses reflected her strong commitment to wholesome, locally and globally sourced ingredients. Most recently Lauren has been spending her time developing and teaching workshops and classes both online and in person.
