“Greg Atkinson’s cooking embodies the essence of Pacific Northwest cuisine with its elegance, simplicity, and accessibility. He has served as a chef, a writer, and a champion to the environment, has won awards for his work, and is a regular on KUOW’s The Beat. Now that everyone realizes the importance of eating locally and in season, Greg’s classic book has been reissued, this time filled with beautiful photographs of the fruits, seafood, mushrooms, lentils, and hazelnuts of the region. This a book to make your mouth water AND it’s a book to cook from—the recipes are simple—and the brilliant chef is also a talented writer who lures the reader into each chapter with personal stories and reminiscences.”—Village Books, Bellingham, WA
