Hello. Bonjour. Ciao.

Hello. Bonjour. Ciao.

Laurie Green Bakke made her mark in Hendersonville, NC, when she opened Cafe Laurie in 2002. For six years, her restaurant embodied a fresh, fast gourmet-to-go style that quickly caught on and established Laurie Bakke and Cafe Laurie as a unique addition to the culinary world.
 
After selling Cafe Laurie, she wrote a self-published cookbook called Laurie Bakke's Kitchen. 
 
Laurie has established a venture with The Marketplace on Locust in downtown Hendersonville, NC. It's part of the historic downtown area off of 7th Avenue that is being revitalized. There are two breweries, a pasta shop, a wonderful bakery, and more.
