This summer, Le Pichet will fête the 15th anniversary of its opening on August 3,
 2000.  As part of the celebration, this Chef Drohman has designed a cooking class that will reveal the secrets of the all-time best loved dishes from Le Pichet’s menu. These are the recipes that have been the most requested by our guests over the years, the cult favorites whose removal from the menu would be unimaginable:  Salade Verte; Gratin Lyonnais; Gâteau de foie de volaille; Poulet rôti; Gâteau de riz “grand-mère”.

Taken as a whole, these dishes comprise a menu that perfectly illustrates the principles
of French country cooking that have animated Le Pichet since its inception: simplicity,
authenticity, adherence to traditional techniques, refusal to cut corners, reverence for wonderful ingredients and for letting their true flavors shine.

Join chef Drohman for a cooking class and family-style dinner celebrating these
classic dishes from Le Pichet’s menu. Learn the steps and techniques that elevate
simple dishes to classics of traditional cuisine.  Reminisce with chef Drohman about
the creation Le Pichet and how it came to be a fixture of the Seattle restaurant
scene. And raise a glass to 15 fun years of Le Pichet.

In a first for these cooking classes, we are very pleased to be able to offer the
June 16 class at the Ruins Private Dining Club. The Ruins is one of Seattle’s best
kept secrets and during the June 16 class, we will have the opportunity to tour its
legendary dining rooms and kitchens and hear a bit about its history.
