A huge THANK YOU to our Seattle neighbors for another fantastic holiday season. We thrive because YOU are cooking and baking more than ever. We know you are probably sick of shopping 🤣 but remember January is a great time to pick up those "basics" you forgot you needed during the holidays. (Or maybe your sister-in-law sneaked it into her car because you have great taste.) Here's to a great 2023 in Ballard!!!

We have mixed emotions about this announcement. Culinary Essentials is thriving. And so many of you have been looking forward to the return of cooking classes. However, due to a number of factors, it just didn't make sense. We aren't closing the kitchen for good. We are able to host private events, like dinner parties and corporate events, upon request. Email in bio for more details. THANK YOU, everyone, for supporting one of the last independent kitchen stores in Seattle!
