    Book Review: Breakfast in Bridgetown 3rd Edition

    Breakfast in Bridgetown logo

    In 2006, Paul Gerald contacted me, asking if I would like to run some reviews he had written about places to eat breakfast in Portland. I was dubious, as I frequently get approached by folks with great ideas that they never follow up on, people with personal agendas, and quite a few who have a sense of taste that varies greatly from mine. However, I took a look, enjoyed the … [Read more...] about Book Review: Breakfast in Bridgetown 3rd Edition

I didn't know it was a Betty Crocker magazine at the time, I only knew that it offered great recipes, taking me to countries I could only dream of at the time. Reading this cookbook was a lovely reminder of the many recipes shared, dinner with … [Read more...] about Book Review: The Way We Ate: 100 Chefs Celebrate a Century at the American Table

    Book Review: Le Pigeon – Cooking at the Dirty Bird

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update April 20, 2018 1 Comment

    Le Pigeon Cookbook

    Cookbooks tend to fall into one of two categories. The first is the coffee table variety - pretty to look at and read, but not all that practical. French Laundry cookbook, I'm looking at you - not many people are going to spend two days making a Caesar salad. On the other side are the more frequently used practical books; the ones that are typically splattered with food after a … [Read more...] about Book Review: Le Pigeon – Cooking at the Dirty Bird
