For the love of food and cooking

Claire Niland Dunn was an accomplished home cook when she turned her lifelong hobby into a business. Previously she attended Seattle’s Bon Vivant School of Cooking, earning certificates in Basic and Fine Cuisines, Pasty and Dessert Arts, and Bread Making.  In addition, she developed her knowledge of regional and international cuisines on her own and with many renowned chefs, as a traveler, student and instructor’s assistant.  

Claire encourages her students and clients to "slow down and eat local," to enjoy the seasons of Whatcom and Skagit Counties' agricultural bounty. And, as a breast cancer survivor, she is especially eager to share her knowledge of nutrition, cooking methods and meal planning that do not compromise taste or enjoyment, but support a healthy lifestyle.

A member of the United States Personal Chef Association since 2000, Claire is also enthusiastic member of Sustainable Connections and its Food & Farming program.

Quality Standards:

Cuisine by Claire champions the growing imperative to buy local and eat fresh, real food. My family has long preferred to shop and eat this way, so it made natural sense to apply the same practice and philosophy to my business. The "Buy Fresh" business pledge means I've committed to sourcing organic and other high quality ingredients from local farmers and producers who practice sustainable methods.  For client home meals, classes and catered events, I search farmers markets, community groceries, seafood markets and my own garden for food at its seasonal peak, and select the freshest, purest products available. Ultimately, it's about food that is not only great tasting, but also good for you, the environment and our community.

And Quality Time:

Cuisine by Claire provides more than meals, grocery shopping and clean-up. In the end, I offer time – for you, for your family, for your friends. After a busy day of work, school, errands and running a household, the last thing you may want to think about is what to make for dinner or that party coming up. With Cuisine by Claire, you, your family and friends can enjoy delicious, nutritious food at home without having to plan it, shop for it, cook it or face a big clean-up after fixing it. You can simply enjoy eating it—together.
