Culinary Communion

My 15-year-old was up baking until midnight last night so that we had fresh cinnamon rolls when I woke up this morning! What did you DO to him?!? I love it!

Register for the Young Chef Series 2008

Thank you for your interest in registering for the 2008 Young Chef Series! We are very excited about this year's program. Our application/registration process includes a few easy steps, as described below.

1. Complete the Registration Form.

The Registration Form provides us with both kids' and parents' contact info and lets us know for which session(s) you're applying. We will contact you via email when the Registration Form has been received.

2. Send the Student's Application Letter

Because we truly believe in inspring kids' passion and desire to cook, we want to make sure that all of our students are truly and deeply interested in cooking and food. We'd like to have the kids themselves write to us, or draw a picture, describing why they like to cook. Repeat students don't need to resubmit an application letter.

A few questions to help kids get started include:
  • What is your favorite food to cook? Why?
  • When did you start cooking?
  • Tell about a funny thing that happened when you were cooking.
  • Do you want to be involved in cooking as a career?
Kids don't need to answer any or all of these questions in their letters—they're just suggestions. Letters or pictures should just show us that your child likes to cook.

We would ideally love to receive these letters or pictures in students' own handwriting via mail or fax, but will accept them via email, as well.

By Mail: Please send letters to us at
Culinary Communion
ATTN: Young Chef Series
2524 Beacon Avenue S.
Seattle, WA 98144

By Fax: Please fax to 814.284.8687.

By Email: Please send letters to info@culinarycommunion.com.

There is no right or wrong way to write the letter (or draw the picture). No submissions will be rejected; we just want to make sure that kids want to be here!

We will contact you by email to confirm that we've received the materials and to confirm students' acceptance into the program. Again, we will not be judging the letter; it's correct however your child writes it! Receipt of the letter (or picture) automatically leads to your child's confirmation in the program.

3. Tuition Payment.

Upon registration, one-half of the tuition amount ($212.50 per session) is required as a deposit to hold the student's spot in a session. Deposits may be paid by cash (please make arrangements with us to drop by), check (please send to the mailing address above), or credit card (please call with your credit card number: 206.284.8687).

The tuition balance is due one month prior to the start of the session. Tuition (including the deposit) is fully refundable, less a $25 handling fee, up to one month prior to the start of the session. Tuition is refundable at 50%, less a $25 handling fee, up to two weeks prior to the start of the session. Within two weeks of the start of the session, tuition (including the deposit) is nonrefundable. Please see The Fine Print for our complete cancellation policy.

4. Complete Liability Waivers.

We'll email you a couple of forms to fill out and return: a Student Information Sheet, an Emergency Care Waiver, a Release from Liability, and a Field Trip Permission Slip. Just complete the forms and return them to us before the session begins.
