Peas and Thank You by Sarah Matheny

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 12 August 2011

A group of Seattle food bloggers gathered at Myra‘s on a weekday evening to meet Sarah Matheny, blogger and author of Peas and Thank You. A former family law attorney and meat eater, she left a full-time career ‘fighting over salt and pepper shakers’ to be a stay-at-home mother. With two young daughters, she created the [...]

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 [...]

Boulangerie Nantaise – Belltown, Seattle

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Monday 16 May 2011

When I worked in the city in Sydney, there was an abundance of choice for lunch. Malaysian laksa, wonton noodle soup and Chinese BBQ pork, panzerotti and pasta, Indian curries and naan, Japanese gyoza and tempura udon - there are take-away food courts, cafés with seating and many restaurants offering lunch menus. I had sushi rolls, Vietnamese rice paper rolls and [...]

Greenhouse by Joost – Sydney, Australia

Posted by: Tossed Salads and Scrambled Eggs on: Friday 13 May 2011

I had a short trip home in early March to attend a dear friend’s wedding. It was perfect timing as I had bought tickets to Billy Connolly months in advance, without knowing that we’d have moved to Seattle by then. I had dinner with Mrs H at Greenhouse by Joost prior to the show. Sydneysiders love dining with [...]
