"Seattle Cooks is a celebration of iconic chefs and up-and-comers, an insider's look into the contemporary history of the city we love, and a recipe roadmap revealing the faces and places that put Seattle--and its restaurants--on the global GPS." Nancy Leson --award-winning food writer, radio personality, and former restaurant critic for The Seattle Times "Julien Perry has produced the rarest of culinary tomes: one chockablock with both utility and flavor." Mike Seely --author of Seattle's Best Dive Bars "Julien Perry is an ideal guide to Seattle's fabulous food scene, bringing readers into the city's best kitchens and making us feel like regulars there. Even Seattle natives will discover new favorites." Rebekah Denn --James Beard Award-winning writer and author of Edible City "Nothing says "rainy day" quite like chanterelle mushrooms picked under drizzly Northwest skies. A hot bowl of soup, however, makes a close second. Marry the two by whipping up a bowl of Vanilla-Scented Corn Soup with Pickled Chanterelle Mushrooms, one of the recipes compiled in the new Seattle Cooks , written by Julien Perry."-- Liana Scarsella , SIP Northwest.
