An Amazon reviewer explains the book best: "After 16 years of marriage, I was still not able to make some of the dishes my husband's mom did. I never quite got it right. I can now!

Author: Kathy Casey
Kathy Casey, beloved expert on Northwest cuisine, shares more than 100 it-doesn't-get-more-delicious-than-this recipes for everything from cocktails all the way to desserts. Lambert cherry mojitos waft the fragrance of fresh mint. A Tillamook cheddar spread made with Oregon's famous cheese is spiked with locally brewed ale. Dungeness crab cakes are topped with a vibrant slaw. Wild Alaskan salmon is crowned with herb-tossed rings of Walla Walla sweet onions. And desserts like Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Cascade Berries make the end of the meal as special as the beginning. These recipes coupled here with fascinating stories of Kathy's Northwest culinary adventures are inspired by the diverse cultural heritage of the region: modern favorites, cherished recipes passed from generation to generation, Pacific Rim and Native American influences, as well as its natural bounty blend the traditional and the contemporary in a delightfully modern cuisine. Add to that gorgeous photographs showing off the culinary landscape, Kathy Casey's Northwest Table is not only distinctive, it's downright delicious.
