I am super stoked to announce this upcoming dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in the city, Tilikum Place Cafe. Tilikum is one of those places that I bring up in conversation and more often than not someone will say "Oh yea...........I've heard of that place."  Well, "that place" is the cutest little nook of a restaurant in Belltown. Far enough away from downtown so that parking is no problem, but close enough that it still feels metropolitan. The interior is at once cozy, but cool and the food is phenomonal. My perfect kind of place.

With that, they are hosting a cookbook dinner along with me and Katie - a winemaker at Snoqualmie Vineyards - a mere 5 days after the book comes out!  Here are the deets: April 20th, 6:30pm, 5 courses, $90, and a signed copy of the book.

The kitchen at Tilikum is chock full of woman turning out fantastic food. Now, I may be chauvinistic, but I think the ladies have it on lock down! They make delicate (yet hardy) food that is never too rich. I always leave perfectly satiatied and craving my next visit. Check out this menu they just wrote (all inspired from the pages of Urban Pantry).........

Minted-yogurt soup with feta and honey

Warm salad of curly endive, polenta, fried quail egg and roasted tomato

Angolotti stuffed with milk braised wild boar, chard and sage

Roasted organic chicken with barley and sweet potato salad, blood orange marmalade

Fresh cheese with whey crepes and rhubarb jam

The whey crepes sold me, for sure. 

Hope to see you there! Tell your friends! And RSVP directly with the Cafe at 206.282.4830.
