What a gorgeous flight from SEA to SUN today. Settling in for a very fun few days of classes: game night, salty snacks and a workshop about gathering and preserving family recipes. Thanks so much @sunvalleyculinary for inviting me back!

Dinner last night, inspired by @cathywhims piece in @wsjoffduty this weekend. I prepared as pot roast vs sauce for pasta, the centerpiece of LOTS of onions cooked down for long time was exquisite. Oh, and that aroma? Divine. Can't wait for tonight's leftovers. Thanks, Cathy! #homecooking #onions #braising #sundaydinner

A #latergram from dinner one night last week. Friends gifted us some gorgeous rockfish, part of their catch from an Alaska trip last summer. Cooked on a bed of soba noodles with red cabbage, onion, ginger--a dusting of shichimi togarashi over all. Yep, that was pretty delicious. Will play around with that again. #homecooking #wingingit #rockfish #eatmoreseafood #seafoodsavvy

I've decided the trend in holiday cookies this year is minimalist. At least around here, it is. I've got tons of patience for cooking projects of many kinds, but decorating cookies has never been one of them. #gingerbreadcookies #happyholidays

Playing around with the gorgeous kabocha squash that came in Saturday's CSA. Pre-roasted in quarters then filled with farro (cooked pilaf style with onion, celery and bay leaf), topped with cheese, baked to heat through. Mmmmm, I'll definitely make that again. #farmersrock #eatinglocal #homecooking

The glow of candlelight bouncing off the anchois blancs au citron and beurre breton, alongside smoked scallops, smoked trout and salmon rillettes. I'd been looking forward to this assiette de la poissonière for a while. Glass of Sancerre just out of shot. Always a joy to be at @lecavisteseattle, it was especially cozy last night, tucked away from the chill and rain. Absolument parfait. #lifeinseattle #alltheseafood #winebar
