Day 1

Chef Lionel Uddipa moved to Juneau when he was just 2-years-old and has made a career out of creating culinary delights in this Southeast town. Chef Lionel is the Chef de Cuisine at SALT, Juneau’s fine-dining restaurant. He has been working with food since as long as he can remember, spending much of his childhood working in his aunt and uncle’s restaurant. His parents also own a local restaurant in Juneau, making him the third generation of chefs in the family.

Chef Lionel continued to hone his craft by attending the prestigious Cordon Blue cooking school. Back in Juneau, he has become well-known for preparing luxurious meals paired with perfect wines and uniquely decadent desserts. His team is made up of like-minded professionals whose goal is to entice the taste buds through an elegant dining experience. He enjoys working in an Avant Garde manner, using ingredients in an unusual way.

Today, learn how to make three delightful courses with this award-winning chef. Your private cooking class will be held in a private home with spectacular views of downtown Juneau and the Gastineau Channel.
