About
Sur La Table started with a simple idea: Make good food. Share it. Do it often.
With a history firmly rooted within the farmers market, Sur La Table continues to inspire its shared communities with excitement around food and gathering. What comes from the kitchen is a daily act of generosity, and one worth celebrating. From dishes exploring simple ingredients to laborious creations implementing advanced cooking techniques, making and sharing food sets the scene for coming together. As close to this mission today as on the day their doors opened at Seattle’s Pike Place Market in 1972, Sur La Table continues to be a partner for all cooks in their cooking journey.
From the beginning, Sur La Table’s founder, Shirley Collins, sought guidance from the world’s best chefs and kitchen brands to deliver exactly what cooking enthusiasts needed to elevate their lives in the kitchen. With 60 stores located throughout the U.S., most of which include a kitchen hosting daily classes, Sur La Table is a trusted resource for cooks of all levels. The brand operates the largest nonprofessional cooking school in the United States where beginner to advanced cooks can attend classes exploring global cuisines, build skills, and find inspiration to live a better life through cooking. And with class series in the summer and winter tailored for kids and teens, Sur La Table is helping budding chefs of all ages embrace their love for cooking. With resident chefs teaching over 30,000 cooking classes a year, the brand annually reaches more than 400,000 attendees in their kitchens and online.
