Local Figs: A Love Letter to a Short Sweet Season

August 15, 2014 by CuisineBonneFemme 42 Comments

Figs

Figs are coming into season early this year, and Lizzy's post from 2006 is always popular, so I thought I'd run it again. Recipe by Eric BechardPortland Oregon is practically raining figs.

Review: Biwa

October 5, 2012 by CuisineBonneFemme 36 Comments

Sure, Portland still isn't much of a sushi town as compared to Seattle, Vancouver BC, or San Francisco. Yet good ramen and izakaya style dining were still a rarity in Portland in ’08, and Biwa was one of the leaders of the pack. I raved … [Read more...] about Review: Biwa
