And because this is one delicious recipe from an icon of a restaurant in Washington, I’m sharing with you today the Peach Gazpacho from my new cookbook, A Taste of Washington: Favorite Recipes from the Centennial State. It comes to you from Canlis in Seattle, a restaurant that has been around for 60 years, but continues to garner incredible awards and press coverage. The current chef, Jason Franey, has won both Food & Wine Magazine’s and The James Beard Foundation’s Best New Chef Pacific Northwest awards. Make this today, and visit this page to see if you can make it to a book signing event!
