About
CHEF TIFFANY LAYCO
Tiffany Layco has been part of the Andaluca family for over six years. In late 2017, she became Andaluca's Executive Chef after a five year run as Executive Sous Chef. She was most recently the Executive Chef at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond and prior to Andaluca was the Executive Chef at the Alexis Hotel/Library Bistro and Bookstore Bar.
Chef Tiffany describes herself as the "accidental Chef". Leaving behind her beloved island of Hawaii, where she was born and raised and where her family still lives, she was off to study biology in Seattle in 1994. While in her scholastic pursuit of medicine, a failed attempt at a recipe and a job as a server sparked an interest in cooking that led her into the kitchen. She never left. Trading up for kitchen knives, she instead pursued her newly discovered passion and earned a culinary degree at Le Cordon Bleu in Portland, Oregon. She travelled along the West Coast working at several exclusive restaurants - including Thomas Keller's Bouchon in Yountville, CA. In 2008, she returned to Seattle.
For over 15 years, Tiffany has been influencing the Pacific Northwest food scene. Possessing an affinity for French and Japanese technique and cooking, Chef Tiffany continues to hone her craft. Her style is appreciated for staying true to the ingredients of the Pacific Northwest while also drawing inspiration from the many countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Her canvas is large and allows her creativity to thrive.
When not overseeing Andaluca Restaurant or the food operations for the Mayflower Park Hotel, Tiffany applies her craft to project that focus on non-profit communities. She enjoys the quiet of home with her wife Angela Lopez (General Manager of Spinasse) and their Lhasa Apso mix Mya.
