What to expect

Join a private, authentic Alaskan culinary experience with Cindee and Michael in their Juneau home. Start with a locally crafted canned cocktail or cold beer from one of Juneau’s beloved breweries, then help prepare a seasonal meal using ingredients grown, caught, or foraged in Southeast Alaska. Watch Michael fillet fresh fish and join in to season and cook it - grilled or oven-baked depending on weather. This isn’t a formal cooking class but a shared home-cooked meal that blends hands-on participation with demonstration. You may be joined by their family, adding to the relaxed, communal vibe. As you cook, hear stories about Alaska Native traditions and the local food culture. End the evening gathered around the table, enjoying the delicious meal you helped create, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection. Perfect for travelers seeking more than just a meal - this is an unforgettable taste of Alaskan life. Your host is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions so let her know your dietary requests, if any, when making your booking. Cindee and Michael have two lovely dogs but they will be placed in another room during your experience.
