Hi from Seattle ✿
02 — Meet Jenny

Hi, I'm Jenny.

I've been feeding people my whole life — not because I had to, but because there's nothing I love more than watching someone take a first bite and just relax. Food is how I say welcome. It's how I celebrate, how I comfort, how I connect.

I don't cook for one type of person or one type of table. I cook for your table — whoever's around it, whatever the occasion. My food is versatile, personal, and always made with the kind of care you can taste.

Whether you're booking me for a private dinner, coming to one of my classes, or swinging by Duchess for a puffed pancake and a latte — you're always going to feel at home.

Cooking Classes Small groups · 4–10 guests

Learn to cook like someone who actually loves cooking.

These aren't intimidating culinary school classes. They're hands-on, fun, a little messy, and you leave with real skills you'll actually use — plus a meal you made yourself. Designed for home cooks of all levels, in intimate groups.

  • Date Night Classes — cook together, eat together
  • Friends & Sips — group workshop with wine, more party than lesson
  • Skill-Builder Sessions — focused technique for the serious home cook
  • Private Group Classes — birthdays, bachelorettes, team events, gatherings

Jenny's table is open to everyone. She actively creates welcoming spaces for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone who's ever felt like food culture wasn't made for them.

05 — Duchess

Find me at Duchess.

My brick-and-mortar home base — breakfast, coffee, and food that surprises you in the best way.

Duchess started as a love letter to Dutch mini pancakes — those perfect little puffed bites — and it's grown into something I'm really proud of. Come in for breakfast, stay for the grilled cheese, or try one of our creative bao bun sandwiches. The menu keeps evolving, just like me.

01 · The original

Dutch mini pancakes

A dozen golden, butter-puffed poffertjes with vanilla bean cream and powdered sugar. The thing we're known for.

bao bun · braised pork · pickled veg
02 · Crowd favorite

The bao bun sandwich

Soft, pillowy bao filled with slow-braised pork shoulder, quick pickles, herbs, and our house chili crisp. Photogenic and serious.

MENU_ITEM_03 · 4:3
grilled cheese · tomato confit
03 · The comfort one

Three-cheese griddled sandwich

Aged cheddar, gruyère, and fontina on sourdough with slow tomato confit. Better than it has any right to be.
