<\/figure>\nI’m Chef Caroline Millet. I’ve spent over twenty years in kitchens, classrooms, and catering trucks, and the thread running through all of it is the same: I love teaching people how to cook and sharing how confidence in the kitchen improves their lives. Not just learning to follow recipes, but the habits that make a kitchen run well, whether that’s a home cook getting comfortable with a knife for the first time or a teenager learning to prep, plate, and clean like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My path started at Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago and has taken me through boutique catering in the San Francisco Bay Area, a wine bistro in Berkeley, private chef work and instruction, and to my adopted home of Seattle. Along the way I picked up a business and marketing degree, worked in event planning and marketing, became a Matchmaker and Dating Coach (!), which all turned out to be just as useful as my culinary training. It’s a big part of why I’ve been able to build programs, not just teach classes, all couched in the foundation of building connection and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These days I’m focused on culinary education, developing curriculum and running programs that meet students where they are, whether that’s an eight-year-old learning their way around a stove, or an adult home cook looking to get more confident with seasonal, local ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n
