Synopsis

The Washington Cookbook is a timeless collection of over 650 recipes gathered from all around the state of Washington. First published in 1982, this beautiful 30th Anniversary Edition is hardbound with a high quality library binding to lay flat, as cookbooks should. The Washington Cookbook offers more than recipes. It is the kind of cookbook you can sit and just enjoy reading. There are various anecdotes and interesting comments about the history of some of the recipes, as well as a bit of humor. There are 14 sections of recipes; they include Seafoods, Wild Game, Breads (with sourdough starter), Desserts and Apples, Main Dishes, Other Lands, Vegetables, On The Trail (camping), Pioneer (old time), Wild Foods, Soups and Salads, Homemade Wine, Kitchen Sink and Methods of Cooking. Also included are cooking and freezing charts, recipes for homemade herb dressings, kitchen tips and instructions for drying fruits and vegetables. The book is unique in that there really are no traditional recipe sections. For example, The Pioneer section has vegetable, main dishes and desserts. There are main dishes in the Other Lands section, vegetable dishes in the On The Trail section, and herb dressing recipes in the Methods of Cooking section. It features quite a variety of recipes and cooking information. For people who enjoy western art, each recipe section is introduced with an original western drawing done by some of Washington's most talented artists, including Don Crook and Dan Jordan. The book is a perfect fit for those with a newly found interest in farmer's markets, eating good nutritious food and enjoying it more at home with family. We are strong supporters of the organic and natural foods movement.

About this title

About the Author:

My name is Steven Harvey. My first foray into cookbook publishing was in 1976 with the release of The Montana Cookbook. Six years later, The Washington Cookbook was published after two years of collecting material from all around the State of Washington. There are over 100 different contributors to the book. Given Washington s rich ethnic and geographic diversity, the result is an amazing collection of recipes and cooking methods that aren't just at home in Washington kitchens, but in kitchens around the country and a good part of the world.
