Free Seasonal Cooking Demo & Tasting | Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

Originally from picturesque St. Albans, Vermont, Heather Terhune first discovered her passion for cooking while canning vegetables and making preserves under the watchful eyes of her mother and grandmother. While spending most of her childhood in New England, Terhune considers herself a proud Midwesterner. When she decided to further her culinary education, though, she relocated back to the East Coast to attend the New England Culinary Institute, from which she graduated in 1995.

She subsequently moved to Washington, D.C. where she continued to hone her craft, joining the team at The Watergate Hotel’s famed Jean Louis restaurant, where she worked under Michelin three-star recipient chef Jean Louis Palladin until his retirement. During her time at Jean Louis, Terhune developed a true sense for her French technique as well as a love for butchering and appreciation for simple, seasoned food.

At BDK Restaurant & Bar, Terhune’s playful menu features local produce and the soulful cooking of her Midwestern upbringing, while drawing inspiration from her early career in French cuisine as well as her travels abroad to France, Spain and Italy.
