Salty's on Alki will be hosting the annual fundraiser “Cooking with Class” on Sept. 15 this year.

At least 22 chefs will donate food and time. Participants choose three chefs and interact with them, actually making the dishes and learning their techniques. Later, the food is paired with wines from the Northwest.

There will be appetizers before the event starts, and a wine and beer tasting table as well. John Curley, formerly of Evening Magazine, is the auctioneer who promises to keep everyone involved and laughing.

There will also be a raffle ($2 tickets) with items like knife sets, overnight stay at The Edgewater and Hotel Ãndra, and other culinary items.

Tickets cost $125, and proceeds benefit the residents and participants of Providence Heritage House at the Market and Providence ElderPlace. Both programs ensure that our frail elderly have the opportunity to live as independently as possible, making their own decisions and getting the care they need.

Heritage House apartments look out at Elliott Bay and there are many activities for residents and a dining room. Plus they’re right at the Pike Place Market. ElderPlace actually picks up their participants and brings them in for the day. They get to see their doctors, have a hot meal, play games and garden. At the end of the day, they get to go back to their home.
