Decorating cookies at Allrecipe.com

This morning, I went to Allrecipe.com office in Seattle to participate Cookies Across America party with “Seattle let us cook together meetup” members.
It is exciting to be a part of community support effort by baking and decorating cookies. I thank to Allrecipe.com to invite us. The cookies were already baked and decoration supply was there. We needed to be there and just decorate. The young participants had a great time to apply their artistic skills to the cookie decorations. These tasty and nice looking cookies will be donated to The Pike Place Market Foundation which helps low income and elderly residents of downtown Seattle.

Seattle Let Us Cook Together Meetup

I have been an organizer of “Seattle let us cook together” meetup for 7 months. I started this meetup to cook something good with others at Prune Kitchen. The meetup is self-taught interactive cooking class. Our dinner cooking is like Thanksgiving dinner. The members cook appetizers, main course, and dessert and share the meals at Prune kitchen.
The fee is between $15 and 30 include all ingredients and cover the expenses. I met many new members who loved to cook or wanted to cook with others. We have cooked variety of meals include Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, and American, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We cook simple common meals to complex recipes. Starting in this fall we will cook on one Friday dinner and one weekend brunch per month plus some weekend’s dinner.

Photos above are some of dishes which we cooked at the Seattle Let us cook together meetup.
