Seattle Kitchen

A Food-Lover's Cookbook and Guide.

Tom Douglas, chef-owner of Dahlia Lounge, Etta's Seafood, and Palace Kitchen, embodies the diversity and flair of Seattle's culinary melting pot. Toms 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, and share in the delight of sophisticated Washington wines, coffee, fresh vegetables, fruits and the exotic flavours of the Pacific Rim countries.

Tom Douglas' style is laid-back sophistication with a dash of humour. 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.

The book has clear, simple recipes that'll have you cooking like Tom Douglas from the very first page. But more than a cookbook, this is 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 favourite ethnic markets and neighbourhoods to where to get the best breakfast.
