Chef Christopher Harris has been working in the professional pastry and baking field since the age of 14. His first food service-related job of greasing cake pans and washing dishes turned into a lifelong embrace of all things pastry and confectionery. Twenty-plus years of professional experience (bakeries, private clubs, hotels, and restaurants) and a formal culinary education helped prepare him for his teaching career of twenty-three years. 

Chef Christopher has won multiple awards for his decorative and sugar work and in 2018 he was recognized by the Washington State Chef’s Association as Culinary Educator of the Year.
