Get the latest Pugetsound recipes from Group Recipes. http://www.grouprecipes.com/tag/pugetsound We made these at our "Fish ID" class at Culinary Communion, served alongside the Chiptole Chile Glazed Salmon, and clams, mussels, and other wonderful foods. The fritters were my favorite recipe of the evening! :) Posted with permission. Although they're wonderful with dinner, I have to admit that I enjoy them as leftovers even more for breakfast. *grin* http://www.grouprecipes.com/21201/black-bean-fritters---culinary-communion.html From a Seattle newspaper article comes the recipe for the famous Ivar's Clam Chowder. Ivar, sadly departed, was a longtime icon in Seattle's history. http://www.grouprecipes.com/21136/ivars-clam-chowder.html A great side dish from The Herbfarm Cookbook. The Herbfarm Restaurant is located in Woodinville, Washington. Each week, the award-winning restaurant chooses the best from farm, forest, and sea to create thematic 9-course dinners showcasing the Pacific Northwest. http://www.grouprecipes.com/21126/herbfarm-roasted-asparagus-salad-with-fried-sage.html The simple and classic method for escargot. :) This is the way they are prepared at 13 Coins in Seattle, a wonderful 24-hour gourmet restaurant. http://www.grouprecipes.com/20125/escargot-a-la-bourguignonne-recipe---13-coins-seattle.html This recipe - which works as either a main dish or appetizer - is a result of combining some different "Salt and Pepper Squid" recipes that I hadn’t made before. I was aiming for the taste I’d had in a Seattle sushi place, but didn’t quite achieve it. On the other hand, my husband and I loved these anyhow, so I decided to write up the recipe so that I – and others – can duplicate it in the future. These are as good (and usually better) as any calamari I’ve gotten in restaurants! The first time we made them we gobbled them down so fast that I forgot to take a photo... :) We go squid jigging in the Puget Sound a lot in the fall, and this is our favorite way to prepare them. http://www.grouprecipes.com/20122/peppered-calamari.html Chandler's Crabhouse in Seattle occasionally makes its recipes available to patrons, and here is one of their most popular dishes. Quite easy to make, and a popular appetizer! http://www.grouprecipes.com/20119/hot-crab-dip---chandlers-crabhouse-seattle.html I came across this drink at the Dragonfish Cafe in Seattle, and had to ask the waitress what was in them... now I enjoy them at home, too. It's a beautiful emerald green color! Although I don't drink alcohol anymore, I can still appreciate the memories. :) http://www.grouprecipes.com/19680/emerald-city-martini.html Washington State produces large numbers of cranberries. This delicious recipe featuring them is from the Inn at Barnum Point, Camano Island, Washington. http://www.grouprecipes.com/19677/cranberry-and-white-chocolate-scones.html
