Edible Seattle: The Cookbook [Hardcover]

Jill Lightner (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2012

Delicious, local, sustainable food, made with style: that's Seattle cooking, and it's a shining example of what the Edible community is all about.

 

Edible Seattle features all the fresh flavors of the northwest: crab, salmon, and Shigoku oysters; chanterelles, and apples and pears, to name just a few homegrown delicacies. Foodies will find out about Seattle favorites like a crisp Romano bean salad with Rhonda Gothberg's feta cheese; Pike Place Market spices; and Herbfarm's Douglas fir syrup. More than 100 recipes, along with visits to top restaurants, fine shops with local specialties, and interviews with chefs and restaurateurs make this the ultimate, beautifully photographed guide to the Seattle foodie scene. 

 

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The latest in the 'Edible' series (Edible Brooklyn), this cookbook introduces readers to food producers and purveyors in the Puget Sound region. To showcase unique and iconic ingredients, Lightner (editor, Edible Seattle magazine) has compiled such diverse recipes as Rhubarb Bruschetta, Sunchoke and Chanterelle Hash, Pork Banh Mi, and Razor Clam Linguine. Sidebars (“Edible Tips”) supplement the recipes with facts, techniques, and substitutions, and profiles and interviews appear throughout... Evocative writing and photography distinguish this book from similar titles." --Library Journal

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice January 23, 2013

By Jonathan Doar

Format:Hardcover

What a nice touch to have the actual covering of the book turn into a map of all the different neighborhoods of Seattle, in an old school format no less. This book was nice to read for someone like myself who will be moving to Seattle in the near future and working in the food industry as well. It offered an inside look at some of the well known purveyors in the area which is always good to know. The food itself is simple but I think thats the idea. When working with local ingredients, whether it be a vegetable or fish, there isn't much additional work needed to be done in order to render a delicious recipe.
