SPOKANE, Wash. — Chef Peter Tobin is retiring from teaching at the Inland Northwest Culinary Institute at Spokane Community College in June.
Tobin started teaching in 1989 and has had hundreds of students. He’s taught some of Spokane’s most successful chefs including Jeremy Hansen and Adam Hegsted.
He graduated from the acclaimed Culinary Institute of America in New York. He worked in many of the top ski resorts in the country before he started teaching in Spokane.
Tobin also cooked for the Seattle Seahawks during their training camps in Cheney and later when they moved back to west side of the state.
In the early 1990s, Tobin also hosted a cooking show with KREM 2’s Tom Sherry called ‘A Fresh Approach.’
