A Boat, a Whale & a Walrus - Menus and Stories

A Boat, a Whale & a Walrus - Menus and Stories
by Renee Erickson with Jess Thomson
Renee Erickson, a celebrated chef and James Beard Award Winner, is the proprietor of several renowned restaurants in Seattle, including The Whale Wins, Boat Street Kitchen, The Walrus and the Carpenter, and Bateau, among others. This remarkable cookbook serves as her heartfelt tribute to the fresh, seasonal ingredients that characterize the Pacific Northwest. Influenced by the rich offerings of the Puget Sound region and French culinary traditions, it features personal, seasonal menus such as Renee’s Fourth of July Crab Feast, Wild Foods Dinner, and a fall pickling party. Home cooks will appreciate Erickson’s straightforward yet sophisticated recipes, including Roasted Chicken with Fried Capers and Preserved Lemons, Harissa-Rubbed Roasted Lamb, and Molasses Spice Cake. Renee Erickson’s culinary creations, relaxed style, and appreciation for simple beauty inspire both readers and food enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

“Erickson’s book has an Ina Garten-like blend of effortlessness and luxuriousness that makes you believe that king salmon with walnut tarator will practically cook itself. But then, with her forgiving guidelines and clear descriptions…it basically does.”
