Ocean Pacific - Fresh Modern Flavors from North America's Pacific Coast (Hardcover)

Some of the most delicious cuisine on earth spring from the North American Pacific coastline, creating a fusion of flavors from Mexico, California, the Pacific Northwest, western Canada, Alaska, and Hawaii. American Indians, the Aleuts, and Eskimos ate many of the foods that are staples of Pacific cooking today: corn, salmon, fruits and berries, and nuts. Today, the same fish that was enjoyed hundreds of years ago is now prepared and seasoned with chile, lime juice, sun-dried tomatoes, mango salsa, blueberry chutney, or macadamia nuts.

Marjie Lambert brings a collection of the delicious, healthful, and simply elegant recipes of the region home to the kitchen in Ocean Pacific. From appetizers to desserts, home chefs everywhere can create hale and hearty favorites, including Spicy Scallop Bisque, Poached Halibut with Lemon-Onion Marmalade, Artichoke Ravioli with Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce, and Alaskan Blueberry Sourdough Waffles.
