Celebrating the Americas
Some might call it Columbus Day
As a historian and anthropologist I love sharing wonderful meals that are based on native ingredients and techniques. this menu is based on ingredients that come from the new world as well as those that were brought by the various groups that came to the Caribbean. I was fortunate to go to several of the islands and central america last year. This was the menu I taught in my classes aboard Holland America's Zuiderdam, and a few extras.

Cooking and Eating Local
A Celebration of Artisan Food
One of the treasures of Seattle and the Northwest, Pike Place Market is a trove of merchandise and vendors, many of whom have long and illustrious histories at the Market. Both visitors to and longtime residents of Seattle can experience the Market in new and wonderful ways with culinary instructor Diane LaVonne as she introduces you its vibrant producer operated stalls. Shopping the market with your private chef, you will immediately recognize Diane’s approach to food and friends, connecting to each other and the larger community. While the foods of the Market are the focal point of the tour, what makes the tour really special is the vendors who share their expertise and enthusiasm generously with Diane and her guests. As a natural storyteller, Diane can provide you with the context of these amazing people and their products. Based on more than three decades of relationships, these folks are not only collaborators in creating an innovative and committed “food community,” they serve as important resources and on-going inspiration for Diane’s Market Kitchen.
After discovering the market, enter the bright and spacious Diane’s Market Kitchen, take a seat at the counter and feel yourself relax. Prepare to be delighted as Diane demonstrates how to prepare an authentic Northwest meal with the wonderful locally produced ingredients chosen by and for you. When you leave, you will have a satisfied palate, a set of recipes and wonderful memories, a true taste of the best Seattle has to offer, the people of Pike Place Market, and a meal created with the gifts from the waters, farms and orchards which surround this gem of the Northwest.

Throwback Thursday from a Midwest Girl
Some of my favorite childhood dishes
Some of these are updated "from scratch" recipes from my childhood. I grew up in Minnesota during a time when canned food and ingredients were popular. I've modified them with local ingredients and a healthier point of view. All the same, they bring back memories. I hope you'll enjoy them and perhaps they'll remind you of meals you shared with your families when you were young. Two of the dishes include potatoes. I'm the granddaughter of Swedish immigrant farmers and boiled potatoes were on the table every night.
Chicken a la King, Biscuit, Salad with French Dressing, Apple Crisp Swedish Meatballs and Mashed Potatoes, Pickled Beets, Apple Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Rice and ground beef hotdish, German Style Red Cabbage, Mud Hen Bars Scalloped potatoes and Ham, Waldorf Salad, Peanut Butter Cookies |
