There's a new culinary melting pot. It's called Seattle.
Here you'll find everything from Japanese bento box lunches
and Thai satays to steaming bowls of Vietnamese soups and
all-American blackberry cobblers. No chef embodies this
diversity with more flair and more flavor than
chef/author/restaurateur Tom Douglas. And no book does it
better than Tom Douglas' Seattle Kitchen. Tom's
creativity with local ingredients and his respect for
Seattle's ethnic traditions have helped put his three
restaurants and Seattle on the national culinary map. Join
Tom and celebrate the Emerald City's rich culinary
tradition: sweet I Dungeness crabs, razor clams, rich
artisan cheeses, and deeply flavored Northwest beers. Share
in the delight of sophisticated Washington wines, coffee
fresh vegetables, fruits, and the exotic flavors of the
Pacific Rim countries. Tom Douglas' style is laid-back
sophistication with a dash of humor. You can see it in the
names of his chapters, "Starch Stacking," "Slow Dancing,"
and "Mo' Poke, Dadu" (this last title, courtesy of his
daughter, Loretta, means "More Pork, Daddy"). And you can
taste it in his signature dishes such as Dungeness Crabcakes
with Green Cocktail Sauce, Roast Duck with Huckleberry Sauce
and Parsnip-Apple Hash, Udon with Sea Scallops in Miso
Broth, and Triple Cream Coconut Pie. Try his hearty
Long-Bone Short Ribs with Chinook Merlot Gravy and Rosemary
WhiteBeans or spicy Fire-roasted Oysters with Ginger Threads
and Wasabi Butter. Relax in the comfort of the comfort foods
he prepares for his own family: Loretta's Buttermilk
Pancakes with Wild Blackberries, Basic Barbecued Baby Back
Ribs, and Five-Spice Angel Food Cake. They're all clear,
simple recipes that'll have you cooking like Tom Douglas
from the very first page. But this is more than a
cookbook; it's a food lover's guide to Seattle. Join Tom on
a tour of his city with his list of top ten best things to
do -- and eat -- in Seattle, from his favorite ethnic
markets and neighborhoods to where to get the best
breakfast. Why not turn your kitchen into a Seattle
kitchen? All it takes is a little help and inspiration from
Tom Douglas.
