Seattle, Washington

Seattle is a food lover’s paradise. Holding a sweet spot in the city’s culinary heart, the 100-year-old Pike Place Market is a popular destination for locals and tourists. The oldest continually operating public farmers’ market in the country, it pioneered the “meet-the-farmer” connection in 1907. From salmon to strawberries, halibut to haricot vert, Dungeness crab to clams, Pacific oysters to asparagus, and berries to bushels of greens, the bounty of local, seasonal foodstuffs here is breathtaking. The Emerald City is one of few places on earth where folks can name all five species of wild Pacific salmon -- and tell you their favorite. Seattle is homeport for the Alaska fishing fleet that fishes wild salmon, halibut and rockfish from icy North Pacific waters. And, yes, Seattle’s coffee really is that good – a double espresso is the best way to counter Seattle’s dreary, drizzly winter mornings. Baristas are everywhere, housed in everything from drive-up mobile vans to the ubiquitous storefronts of a certain national coffee empire.

About me: I was born to bake... both of my grandmothers loved to bake, and I grew up at the kitchen counter, where I learned to make such treats as waffles, cookies, pies and traditional Norwegian dishes on my own from the time I was old enough (or tall enough, rather) to reach the kitchen counter with a stool. Now, baking is my sanity. I can't go very long without heading back into my kitchen, and I love to surprise others with special treats. Homemade with love!
