Slow Food Seattle

Wild Tide guests, meet your menu!

Chef Kären Jurgensen has put together an unforgettable feast celebrating the best of our local waters and forests.

Imagine:
-Lummi Island ikura
-Taylor Shellfish Manila clams and deep-fried oysters
-Salmon ala Plancha with foraged mushroom butter
-Tempura-fried mussels in a cucumber cup with sesame vinaigrette and nori

Trust us, it will be wildly worth the wait.

Chef Kären is the Executive Chef Instructor at Seattle Culinary Academy and the force behind One World Dining Room. She’s a sustainability trailblazer, a Lifetime Learner Award recipient, and helped make SCA the first school in the nation to fully integrate sustainable food systems and social justice into its program.

Oh—and Seattle Culinary Academy is a proud Slow Food Snail of Approval awardee!

We can’t wait to share this bounty with you all on Feb. 18th!

Is there anything better than crisp cider with fresh seafood? 🌊

We don’t think so—which is why we’re thrilled to welcome to our Wild Tide lineup! Laura and Chelsea will be joining us for dinner where they’ll be pouring a couple of Finnriver’s handcrafted ciders, including Tideline—made with organic golden russet apples, nootka rosehips, and Grand fir tips. Seafood, meet your perfect match!

Finnriver Farm and Cidery is one of our illustrious Snail of Approval awardees, and a leader in the Pacific Northwest hard cider revival, crafting innovative ciders using organic, seasonal, and wild-harvested ingredients. They also support local salmon conservation, riparian habitat restoration, and organic education and advocacy. We’re truly honored to partner with them on this special dinner and fundraiser for the Seattle Indian Center!

There are only a couple tickets left, so don’t wait to grab your spot! Link in bio. 👀

If you’re not lucky enough to be one of Jennifer Hahn’s wild food students, then you need to join us on February 18th to be the next best thing: her dinner guests!

Jennifer—a scientist, author, and avid forager—is half of the dynamic duo helping us make Wild Tide: A Pacific Harvest Feast a deliciously educational evening. Jennifer will give a lively talk exploring the rich interconnection of our coastal ecosystems and cultures, based on 40 years of foraging from California to Alaska, complete with an interactive display of wild specimens for you to learn from.

If good food and neat science isn’t enough of an incentive, we’re also hosting a SEA-riously good raffle to support the Seattle Indian Center, a long-standing community organization that provides essential food access programs, helping ensure no one in our city goes hungry.
