No culinary background, just a desire to seek out food treasures from the Seattle WA area and abroad. From her kitchen, to food trucks, to restaurant dining, join in on this delicious journey. Tuesday, September 18, 2012.

I am happy to say that the holidays are over now and time to move on.

The couple chose a vibrant color scheme of yellow, red, blue and brown. We made the flower bouquets and boutonnieres for their special day. For the bridesmaid bouquets we used blue hydrangea, tweedia, red ranunculus, cornflower, marigolds, dahlias, zinnias, and some rose hips accented with yellow waxflower.

Fun and inexpensive things to do see try and buy for kids in seattle and the eastside. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. I am finding weekly updates a bit daunting. And with the holidays coming I fear it will only get more hectic. Therefore - the blog is NOT going away, but merely changing its direction and format. I am going to put this Blogger page on hold, and focus on the Facebook page. There you will start to find individual postings for the BEST OF THE BEST.

Favorite recipes from a Northwest kitchen. Emboldened me to ferment my first batch of sauerkraut.

The cookbook is here! Cooking Your Local Produce from Ward Street Press. The same principles hold - good food, pretty good for you. And yes, there is plenty of trivia, but the recipes are for all. Trip to China and Japan. Tuesday, December 22, 2015. Nut Brittle - All The Ways. This year for Christmas Baking, one of the things I made was a Sesame-Cashew Brittle. I found the recipe last year in Food and Wine. This is too bad, because brittle is really easy once you get comfortable with the process.
