Chef Larkin
Perhaps you recognize Larkin Young. Maybe he’s brought out your dinner out of the kitchen he created from Basalt, the Willows Inn on Lummi Island, or Tilth. Maybe you saw him take home the gold on Iron Chef, as part of Chef Maria Hines’ team of three, besting even Morimoto himself.
Larkin has more than 20 years of experience under his belt. He’s been a fixture at fine dining establishments, pop-up events, community volunteer, foraging, butchering and working farmers markets.
Larkin also wants to pass on what he’s learned to the community – offering a number of classes and workshops. Join him for some 1 on 1 cooking classes or for a walk in the woods to learn about foraging tips.
Larkin’s creativity in the kitchen is infectious – and he hopes you'll join him on a gourmet adventure.
