Seaweed Cooking
With Kayla Set
‘‘Learn About Cooking With Seaweed’’ with Kayla Caprice is slated 6-8:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 26, at the Sitka Kitch community rental commercial kitchen at the Sitka Lutheran Church.
The class, part of a new Cooking With Kayla Caprice class series this summer, is being held in conjunction with the Sitka Mermaid Festival.
The class, a fundraiser for Sitka Kitch, is $40 per person. The registration deadline is 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24.
She will teach people about aquaculture, seaweed health benefits, and the availability of seaweed here.
Kayla is from Florida and grew up around the ocean and fishing. Her mother was a chef, and Food Network was her favorite channel. She has a background in early childhood development and school-age instruction, with an emphasis on cooking and nutrition. She moved to Seattle three years ago to pursue her love of cooking, learning, teaching, and community involvement.
She has been helping teach nutrition and the food system with The Beechers Foundation in Seattle for more than two years. There she runs before- and after-school programs with cooking and baking clubs, as well as the school garden. She also assists in classes at Culinary Essentials in Ballard under Chef Nora Dummer, cooked at the Artist Home for the Doe Bay Music Festival on Orcas Island, worked at Firefly Kitchens (a fermentation company in Ballard), and taught the culinary summer camp at The Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island in Washington. She is currently a line cook at Ludvig’s Bistro in Sitka.
“Cooking for yourself is very important to me, as is loving good food,” Caprice said. “I believe everyone and anyone should have access to good food and be able to feed themselves, and the tools they need in order to do so.”
