BACK IN BLACK: COOK BOOKS
Blackbird takes it's food seriously and we're keeping a revolving line-up of top notch cook books to help spread the word that eating is one of the supreme pleasures in life. Among our current cook book roster are these four gourmet tomes of craft, recipe, culinary philosophy and mouth-watering pictures. From reinvented comfort foods, the recipes of Seattle's own Ethan Stowell, the dangerously decadent Momofuku Milk Bar, or the basic yet essential art of bread making, we've got your needs and appetite covered.

240 pages
240 pages
DETAILS: Here food isn't formal or fussy, just focused, with recipes that honor Italian tradition while celebrating the best ingredients the Pacific Northwest has to offer. We're talking about a generous bowl of steaming handmade pasta - served with two forks for you and a friend. Or perhaps an impeccably fresh crudo, crunchy cucumber and tangy radish accenting impossibly sweet spot prawns. Next up are the jewel tones of a beet salad with lush, homemade ricotta, or maybe a tangle of white beans and clams spiked with Goat Horn pepper - finished off with a whole roasted fish that begs to be sucked off the bones. Oh, some cheese, a gooseberry compote complementing your Robiola, or the bittersweet surprise of Campari sorbet.
