mis en place (pronounced meez on plas): the art of organizing and arranging the ingredients that a cook will require for the menu she expects to prepare

News & Events
Ya'll know I'm from Southern Louisiana, so when anything relating to my heritage comes to Seattle, I'm all over it. This time, it's by way of yet another food truck. Jemil's Big Easy will start rolling through Seattle in April, and it will serve po boys, gumbo, jambalaya and muffalettas, as well as a host of other traditional New Orleans comfort food. What excites me even more is the fact that the chef, Jemil Aziz is from New Orleans and he went to the best school in the country: The Culinary Institute of America. (holla, Cully)
If you're interested in Who's Who among Seattle chefs, check out the James Beard Award Semifinalists from Seattle. I'm surprised not to see The Walrus & the Carpenter for Best New Restaurant, but I guess that's ok since Renee Erickson is on the list for Best Chef Northwest. I'm also surprised to see Canlis up for so many categories.
Do you have a bit of cash, burning a hole in your pocket? Maybe you want to use that tax return for an unforgettable meal. Check out The Herbfarm's A Taste of Trees from Feb. 17 - March 4. It looks incredibly interesting, and it's sure to be a unique experience. If you're searching for prices, you won't find them on their website. I called The Herbfarm to enquire, and they said that all of their meals are themed, 9-course meals paired with Northwest wines that range from $179 to $205 plus tax and gratuity per person, depending on the theme. If anyone goes, please let me know your thoughts!
On Friday, February 24th as well as Sunday, February
26th, make a new reservation for two or more guests and The
Herbfarm will put you up at the Willows Lodge FREE! Gratis!
Yes, that's on us!
Revel in The Herbfarm's 9-course dinner, fine matching wines and music from
guitar virtuoso Patricio Contreras. Then stroll back through the gardens to your
room at Willows Lodge, replete with beckoning fireplace and soaking tub big
enough for two. Next morning, relax a while before heading home or to work,
renewed and refreshed.
