Latke Party

This is a live, interactive, hands-on cooking class held online via Zoom. See our event policies at the bottom of this webpage.

Every year, the Schatz family hosts a latke party with over 100 attendees, coming together to enjoy the family's tiny, crispy latkes, strong cocktails, and good company. Join them this Chanukah to make your own latkes, apple sauce, and spiked cider. Not only is this class is hosted by our instructor, Gracie Schatz, but her parents and brother will be co-hosts! If you miss the warmth and conviviality of a bustling in-person latke party, join us in the Zoom room and let's have one together! The Schatzes are very excited to share their Chanukah spirit and traditions with you!

Gracie Schatz has been in the food industry for 13 years. She began her career as a baker and private chef in Eugene, Oregon. She moved to Italy to learn about farming pigs, making cheese, tending bees, and Tuscan cooking. After tasting Italian prosciutto, she became a pork fanatic which led to her to the Fatted Calf in San Francisco and eventually managed Avedano's in Bernal Heights. Her desire to partake in the full cycle of meat consumption lead her to the Sierra Foothills where she raised, slaughtered, and cured her own heritage pigs. She returned to the Bay Area to cook at Molina and Cala restaurants where she became an adept fish butcher and learned to cook in a wood-fired oven. All the while Gracie and her business partner, Alana Eckhart have run a successful pop-up restaurant, Bread and Bones Supper. Today, Gracie lives in Eugene, Oregon where she has started Heart of Willamette Cooking School, inspired by her time teaching at 18 Reasons.
