Diane's Market Kitchen

Diane LaVonne, the driving force behind Diane's Market Kitchen, embodies a blend of conventional learning and rich life experiences. Her journey started on a Minnesota farm, teaching her self-reliance and respect for nature. Her approach to cooking is deeply rooted in promoting healthy, delicious food as a lifestyle choice, not a diet, focusing on local ingredients and producers. Diane's Market Kitchen, born from transforming a simple concrete space into a vibrant kitchen, is a testament to her belief in the power of food, family, and friends. It's a place where she brings all her experiences to the table, aiming to teach individuals resource management, the implications of their choices, healthy food preparation, and overall well-being. Her kitchen reflects her values: sharing, knowledge, curiosity, comfort, integrity, humor, talent, and joy. Diane's dedication to teaching and community engagement is evident in her free cooking classes for low-income seniors at Pike Place Market, embodying her commitment to food education and community service.
