KNKX was saddened to learn of the sudden death on April 24 of Rachel Marshall, founder of Rachel’s Ginger Beer, who was Nancy Leson's guest for our spring cooking class on May 18. Our hearts and prayers go out to Rachel's family. Given the short time to put together another class with Nancy and another guest chef, KNKX has decided not to present a spring cooking class. We are looking at dates in summer 2023 and will update you as soon as we can.
Nancy Leson recalls, “We met years ago when Rachel was waiting tables at Delancey in Ballard, serving pizza and big cold glasses of ‘Rachel’s Ginger Beer.’ On one visit, after my kid and I ordered a pint, I belatedly made the connection and asked, ‘Wait! Is this your ginger beer?’ It was.” Nancy calls Rachel “a ray of sunlight and substance if ever there was one," and says, "That I won’t be able to introduce you to her special brand of infectious joy breaks my heart.”
If you have any questions, please feel free to email our Listener Services desk at info@knkx.org.
Again, thank you for your support and we hope you can join us for our next culinary adventure. Stay tuned for details!
