We are sort of obsessed with pizza, as I’m sure many are, and we have made it a bit of a personal challenge to try all of the boasted best places to eat pizza in Seattle. It took us a while to get to Delancey, and of course we are happy we finally made it. [...]

We came across A Caprice Kitchen when of course we were waiting about an hour and a half for a piece of pie at Delancey’s, and in the end, we were so glad we had a wait, as we were able to discover this lovely little gem. There must be something like seven tables or [...]

There is a newer French restaurant in our area called Bastille. It’s fairly good, draws a young, energetic crowd, and the décor really is pretty stunning; they’ve been inspired by and used elements from something like a modern European train station. We’d suggest not planning a fancy dinner for two, but going with a few [...]

This place is fairly new (opened in 2008), and we were surprised we hadn’t heard a lot about it. The beer selection is awesome, constantly changing and the food is local, organic and sustainable. Our favorite part of going to this place so far is talking to bartender John Moroney. He really knows beer. He [...]

Although it seems like summer is just beginning, cherry season is almost over! It seems like we have about one more week or something ridiculous like that. So, while it’s possible, try to make one of these drinks soon, while it’s pleasant outside and cherries are naturally fresh. Ingredients: • 1 ½ shots Vodka • [...]

Close to our place is a great brewery that has been around for a while and recently moved. We actually didn’t really check this place out until after the move, and we are so happy we did. This place is obviously good for it’s beers (particularly the Flagship Red), and the food honestly is just [...]

This bread smelled so good while it was baking; when we were weeding outside with the doors shut we could still smell it, and it made it so hard to wait for dinner time. We had this that night with a simple salad and some salami. This also came from Jim Lahey’s “My Bread” book, [...]

We learned how to make an extremely simple and tasty margarita from someone who tried over and over and over again until it was perfected. Authentic margaritas should use no mix or anything but fresh ingredients and liquor. Ingredients: • 1 shot of tequila (we prefer reposado tequila, as it’s aged a bit but that [...]
Oh, man. These are so good, and even easier than the rustic bread. We made one plain, one with olives, one with tomatoes, and one with garlic. We both have different favorites, and it’s fun to have them all. The flavor and texture of these is not entirely unlike a baguette, but it’s much softer [...]

We had a desire for chicken pot pie the other day (when miraculously it was technically summer but drizzly and cold outside). These are so delicious and great to know how to make living in the Seattle area, when it really is cold and rainy most months out of the year. These take time to [...]
