Pacific Northwest Wining & Dining

In Pacific Northwest Wining & Dining—a combination cookbook, wine primer, travelogue, and food-and-wine-pairing guide—bestselling author Braiden Rex-Johnson takes us along as she visits the Northwest's most accomplished chefs, winemakers, artisan cheese makers, chocolatiers, and even a balsamic-vinegar maker, showcasing the recipes and wines that have made the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, plus the province of British Columbia, a true gastronomic mecca.

Brimming with stories and profiles, illustrated with 140 gorgeous color photos, and featuring 88 recipes and wine pairings as well as cook's hints, a wine varietal primer, and a listing of Northwest wine-and-food festivals, Pacific Northwest Wining & Dining is a wonderful tribute to this rising epicurean destination.

A perfect gift for the culinary aficionado: When you order Braiden's book with Chukar® Dried Bing, Rainier, or Columbia River Tart Cherries, you will receive a complimentary gift box from Chukar Cherries.

Braiden Rex-Johnson is the Seattle-based author of six previous books, including the bestselling Pike Place Market Cookbook; writes a food-and-wine-pairing column for Wine Press Northwest; and is a regular contributor to the Seattle Times Pacific Northwest magazine "Taste" column.
