This collection of inventive yet simple recipes conveys the warmth and rustic sophistication of a Northwest bistro. It`s the inspiration of Judith Weinstock, onetime proprietor of the famous Streamliner Diner and owner of the Kingston Hotel Cafe. The recipes born in Weinstock`s kitchen are earthy, eclectic, and resplendent with her unique and easy-to-master sauces, chutneys, and salsas, which offer the home cook flavorful versatility. The Kingston Hotel Cafe Cookbook reflects a whole cafe menu -- soups, salads, breads, pastas, light entrees, and desserts -- as well as a Northwest way of life that follows the seasons and appreciates homegrown, satisfying foods.
