The Crimson Spoon

From Chef Jamie Callison's persepctive, the Palouse region of the Pacific Northwest is a chef's playground.  The Crimson Spoon features more than 100 of Chef Callison's recipes-from company-worthy Pear and Mascarpone Ravioli and Rainer Cherry Clafoutis.  Many celebrate local ingredients like WSU Wagyu beef, garbanzo beans and lentils, soft durum wheat flour, world-famous Cougar Gold Cheese, organic vegetables, and heirloom fruit.  Others highlight coastal treasures such as salmon and scallops.  Lush color photographs showcase his dishes, and articles tucked throughout the pages highlight the region's resources and Chef Callison's life story and cooking philosophy.
