The summer fun, amazing ingredients and good times have sure hit us here in the Northwest. As a general rule, we tend to be on the waiting list for the wonderful foodstuffs from the farms compared to the rest of the country, but well worth the wait. I love it here. It is my home. It is where I belong. Where I have developed my whole love of cooking. It is the place that I have sank my teeth and my roots into to hopefully leave a small mark for the future within my legacy. Summer is an amazing time for cooking...it is lighter, more vibrant, uber-fresh, local and wonderful. It exudes flavor and the farms and of the moment. Sure, other seasons do that too, but not to this magnitude. Here are but a handful of concoctions that were crafted as of late for a few fine folk...
