Emmer and Rye – Queen Anne, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 16 February 2012

Seattle enjoyed a week of sunshine in late January. The Emerald City shone, and residents and visitors dispersed outdoors to revel in its glorious beauty. I uttered the phrase ‘the mountains are out’ with glee, admiring the snow-capped range reflecting light in the solitary distance. After a Keren Brown event with authors Karen Page and [...]

Mio Sushi – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Tuesday 20 December 2011

Originating from Portland, Mio Sushi recently opened in the Rollin Street Flats building. At the nexus of the Westlake thoroughfare between Whole Foods and the Tom Douglas hub, the location has high foot traffic. There are a dozen Mio Sushi franchises in Oregon and Washington State. The chain is a family friendly restaurant with an [...]

106 Pine – Pike Place Market, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 07 December 2011

A group of friends gathered at 106 Pine for mid week wine and cheese. Next to Chocolate Box, both are boutiques specialising in Northwest goods. With adjacent entrances and a common wall with two gaps, the joie de vivre of chocolate, wine and cheese are intertwined. A wooden table in the bay window was laden with Christmas [...]

Food security panel discussion at FareStart – Downtown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 17 November 2011

I attended a panel discussion on food security at FareStart a couple of weeks ago. Moderated by Matt Gurney, FareStart Director of Business Operations, it was a passionate and positive conversation on food security in Washington State. Located on the border of Downtown and South Lake Union, the FareStart building is a restaurant, catering kitchen, [...]

The One-Block Feast by Margo True and the staff of Sunset Magazine

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Wednesday 03 August 2011

I’ve lived in cities all my life. While I spent my childhood in high rise apartment buildings, Mr S was roaming freely on a farm. I cannot garden except to water and I’ve drowned cactus and succulent plants! The previous owners of our home in Sydney had a flourishing garden bed of garish tropical plants [...]

Local 360 and Local 360 Mercantile – Belltown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Sunday 10 July 2011

Summer may be late but spring definitely sprung in Seattle. On a pleasant warm day a few weekends ago, we moseyed down to Local 360 to try their spring menu. A pretty posy greeted us at our table and I love the rustic feel of the décor. In the short time it’s been open Local [...]

Portage Bay Café – South Lake Union, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Sunday 03 July 2011

There is a homeliness to buffet style dining, an openness and a warm welcome to eating together. The toppings bar at Portage Bay Café has a similar feel. A popular spot for weekend brunch, it was nearly as busy for weekday breakfast. Vintage rowing boats are suspended upside down from the ceiling in the large dining room [...]

Vegan Family Meals by Ann Gentry

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 30 June 2011

I’m entranced by Ann Gentry‘s accent. There is something soothing about the dulcet tones of a Southern drawl. Hosted by Myra Kohn, Ann was in Seattle to promote her second cookbook, Vegan Family Meals. I have some friends who are vegetarians but I don’t know much about vegan food. Ann spoke eloquently about how her diet [...]

Queen Anne Farmers Market

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Thursday 16 June 2011

In the four months I’ve lived in Seattle, I’ve visited Kerry Park thrice and walked up the Counterbalance each time. I huff and puff over the three humps for the exhilarating view of Downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay and Mount Rainier. On a clear day it takes your breath away, literally and figuratively! After reading the map, I [...]

Local 360 – Belltown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Sunday 22 May 2011

Local 360 is defined by its name – the restaurant challenges itself to source the majority of raw ingredients within a 360 mile radius of Seattle. A blackboard chalked with local suppliers is proudly displayed next to the bar and a large pane of glass frames a view into the cold room. We’ve dined at Local [...]
