March Sample Bite of Washington

I thought it might be fun to feature small samples of my cookbook, bite of Washington. It is available on Amazon for $10 print and $4 Kindle. The book starts with a brief description of Washington's climate and culture. It then takes you through the main types of apples grown in our state (our biggest food find). Then each chapter travels month by month, highlighting 5 food festivals and 3 recipes for each of them. Some recipes are donated by professional/local chefs. The entire books has delightful photos from around the state.

Nothing warms a cold day better then a steaming hot bowl of clam chowder. For an extra special treat, cut the center from a large sour dough loaf. Fill the bread bowl with chowder.

1 cup diced raw potatoes
2 cup water
1 pint clams ground or chopped and liquid

Pairing Wine and Chocolate
Do chocolate and wine really mix? Most people believe chocolate goes with anything, and if you pair correctly, wine it a perfect mate to chocolate. The number one rule in pairing these two, is that the wine should be as sweet or sweeter then the chocolate. Otherwise, both will sour.

White chocolate goes with Sherry, Moscato, Muscat, or Champagne
Milk chocolate goes with Pinot Noir, Merlot, Rieslings, dessert wines, Chardonnay
Dark chocolate goes with Zinfandels, Cabernet Sauvignon or Port

Teresa Nordheim in Highlights Magazine?

It's possible. For those of you who have followed this blog, you might remember the article I did on Sydney Martin. She is an incredible young girl who has over come a rare blood disorder and turned it into a way to education and comfort others children. The story I submitted would be featured in "Gallant Kids" section of Highlights Magazine. I received an email this AM to work out a few final kinks, and a promising note that a contract could develop very soon!

It has been a long wait, but if it turns out successful, then it was well worth every second. I'll keep you posted.
