“Here in your hands,” writes Seattle Times wine columnist Andy Perdue, “Michele Morris’ cookbook does a beautiful job of capturing the amazing breadth and depth of Washington’s agricultural bounty from a culinary point of view. While many cookbook authors tend to focus on the greater Seattle area (because that is where the majority of the population lives and, thus, where the chefs are), Michele has traveled a winding trail that will transport you to the best food in every corner of the Evergreen State. Washington is a treasure trove of succulent and savory wonder; let Michele be your guide.”
