But then, with her forgiving guidelines and clear descriptions...it basically does." —Bon Appétit One of the country's most acclaimed chefs, James Beard Award Winner Renee Erickson is a chef and the owner of several Seattle restaurants: The Whale Wins, Boat Street Kitchen, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and Bateau, among others. This iconic cookbook is her love letter to the fresh seasonal food that defines the Pacific Northwest. Defined by the bounty of the Puget Sound region, as well as by French cuisine, it's filled with seasonal, personal menus like Renee’s Fourth of July Crab Feast, Wild Foods Dinner, and a fall pickling party. Home cooks will cherish Erickson’s simple yet elegant recipes such as Roasted Chicken with Fried Capers and Preserved Lemons, Harissa-Rubbed Roasted Lamb, and Molasses Spice Cake. Renee Erickson's food, casual style, and appreciation of simple beauty is an inspiration to readers and eaters in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. "...the book's focus on simple, sourceable ingredients makes the array of mouth-watering menus approachable, whether you're in Erickson's Portage Bay backyard or in the land-locked Midwest." —Saveur Review: Beautifully illustrated with delicious recipes - Years ago I came across this absolute joy of a cookbook and was all to happy to purchase a second book for a near and dear friend of mine who just relocated to the Pacific NW. A foodie like myself she loves to cook for others and with access to local seafood I know she will enjoy the menus and stories included by authors Renee Erickson, Jess Thomson, and photographer Jim Henkens, as much as I did.

Yes, the writing and photos are excellent. But who cares if the food isn't to die for? With this in mind, here's my review: everything I've tried so far has been divine! I loved the potato salad with preserved lemon; the mussels with tarragon; the chicken with capers; and the zucchini bread. I've never before owned a cookbook where I feel the urge to try every single recipe. My friends have loved the recipes that I've cooked for them so much that they're all ordering the book, too.
