Crab (Northwest Homegrown Cookbook Series)

The Northwest corner of the United States is blessed with an incredible array of foods that inspire and enthuse chefs and home cooks alike. Lifelong Northwest native Cynthia Nims shares her passion for and knowledge of one of the most iconic of the region's foods: crab. This book features not only practical basics that include tips for buying and cleaning crab, but also historical and cultural perspectives that add rich context to the enjoyment of Dungeness crab. And of course there are recipes, too, ten that take you from the breakfast table (Sourdough Bread Pudding with Crab) to dinner time (Wokked Pea Vines with Crab and Ginger). Award-winning writer Cynthia Nims has been sharing stories of Northwest food traditions for over twenty years, including in the popular Northwest Homegrown Cookbook Series which helped pave the way for this book.
