80 wonderful recipes and gorgeous photography that express the flavors
and atmosphere of the world-renowned Pike Place Market--for local and
visiting home cooks alike.
The Pike Place Market sits in the center of downtown Seattle and at the
center of the Seattle food scene. With its famous seafood and locally
grown produce, it is seven acres of wonderful ingredients and
inspiration for the home cook. Cookbook author Jess Thomson has prowled
the Market's stalls, shops, restaurants, and purveyors to assemble a
collection of recipes that celebrate the essence of Pike Place Market.
Included here are Le Pichet's Salade Verte, Etta's Mini Dungeness Crab
Cakes by Tom Douglas, and the Pink Door's Linguine alla Vongole. The
author has also created recipes that are inspired by ingredients found
at the market, such as Spanish Chickpea and Chorizo Stew (with Uli's
Sausage) and a MarketSpice Tea Cake. The cookbook can also serve as a
guide to the specialty shops and off-the-beaten path purveyors and
cafes. With gorgeous images of prepared recipes, dazzling ingredients,
and scenes of the Pike Place Market, this is the ultimate Seattle
cookbook.
