Join us for a cozy afternoon in the kitchen with Chef Bruce Naftaly—often called the “Father of Northwest Cuisine” and a pioneer of Seattle’s farm-to-table movement. Drawing on decades of French culinary expertise, Chef Bruce will guide you through a menu of comforting, elegantly seasonal dishes. Together, you’ll make a velvety celery root soup; salsify à la crème, a timeless bistro classic; and gently poached steelhead paired with the earthy flavors of wild mushrooms. The class wraps up with a bright pear, rosehip, and Champagne sorbet that brings a clean, refreshing finish. Throughout the workshop, Chef Bruce will share his signature blend of storytelling, technique, and Northwest seasonal sensibility for a joyful afternoon of French cooking.

 

At each Bella Luna class you will get the chance to enjoy Bellsong Creamery cheeses, sip a glass of something special, and gather around a beautifully prepared meal.

Bruce Naftaly

Over the years, Chef Bruce Naftaly has been hailed by local and national press as “the Father of Northwest Cuisine” and Seattle’s “Food Hero”, and has long been considered one of the pioneers of the local farm-to-table movement. The former head chef and chef/owner of some of Seattle’s most renowned restaurants—including Le Gourmand (for 28 years!), the Alexis Hotel and Sambar —Naftaly is now bringing his locally driven food philosophy to your table as a personal chef and instructor. An avid supporter of local organic producers, the PCC Land Trust and other organizations dedicated to preserving local farmland and sustainability, Naftaly also offers custom meal preparation, is available for special events, and often teaches group cooking classes like the ones he hosts here at Bella Luna.
