Book Description

Series: Williams-Sonoma New American Cooking | Publication Date: August 2000

With a maritime bounty ranging from salmon to crab and a forest harvest that includes prized porcini and truffles, the Northwest harbors abundant culinary resources. The region’s diverse climate is matched by an equally diverse range of growing conditions. The result is a rich bounty of local products, from Washington State’s famous apples and Oregon’s glorious wines to Idaho’s signature potatoes. The Pacific Northwest celebrates the best of this regional cuisine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Addition to the WS-New American Cooking Series, July 4, 2001

This is a great addition to the WS Library, and will be to any cookbook reader's library. The Pacific Northwest has easy to follow recipes that are true to the regions bounty. As with all WS books, the pictures can write a story themselves. I especially like the sections that go into the history of the regional produce and what florishes naturally in the Northwest climate. This is a true representation of what makes that area of our country so unique. Reading the book has made me want to take a trip back there.

5.0 out of 5 stars love this book., January 9, 2012

I just moved into this area and ordered this book. The recipes are good and give you information on the ingredients and the area. Going to love visiting some of the small towns to check out some of the local fare. Not to mention I already love salmon and oysters to begin with.
