About

Learn how chocolate is made, starting with a fresh Ecuadoran cacao pod; remove the mystery of baking with yeast (yes a fungus!) by playing a little and making some morning sweet desserts; scream for homemade ice cream and enjoy it with edible bowls and creative toppings; go back in history and learn to make pie-like treats that taste better than their names of brunts, sonkers and buckles; and experience the miraculous transformation of egg whites to extravagant, glossy meringues in an old-English dessert called Eton Mess.

On the menu:

  • Pavlova and origins of the Eton Mess.
  • Candy making for young chocolatiers.
  • Ice creams and edible bowls.
  • Cinnamon bread and crumpets.
  • Three different uncommon fruit-laden pies.
  • (Menus are subject to change.)

Anne Willhoit

Anne is a teacher, food writer, photographer, and parent. She writes the biweekly From Scratch column for the Kitsap Sun and has published work in several magazines. She tries really hard to only make one big kitchen mess per day but rarely achieves this goal. She likes to collect and play with recipes and is always grateful for the seasonal bounty that our island provides. Anne is excited to return to teaching at BARN and has been involved with it since the beautiful kitchen and concept was just a mere gleam in the founding committee's eye. Follow her food journey and maybe learn a few things on Instagram @aawillhoit.
