Micro Market Class by Chef Roy Breiman
A public class called “Micro Market Class” was held by Chef Roy Breiman from Cedarbrook Lodge, who previously worked as executive chef at the Salish Lodge. During the 90–minute session, he visited the Ballard Farmers Market, selected seasonal ingredients, and demonstrated cooking techniques inside the store.
The class combined a cooking demonstration with practical use of seasonal food products. Participants observed preparation steps inside the demonstration area and followed the cooking process during the event.
