Dishing with Kathy Casey: Food, Fun, and Cocktails from Seattle's Culinary Diva

by Kathy Casey, E. Jane Armstrong (Photographer)

Named as one of Food and Wine magazine’s “hot new American chefs” when she was just 23, Kathy Casey has had an impressive career as a chef, cookbook author, and food writer. With her signature flair, the beloved culinary personality offers up more than 100 delectable recipes in her new cookbook. She balances original ideas with updated classics in dishes like Seared Steak with Chipotle Mushrooms and Crema, and Tropical Fruit Shortcakes with Coconut Cream. Each recipe is highlighted with insider chef’s tricks to impress guests, and special menus provide creative approaches to traditional occasions. The over 50 accompanying photos by acclaimed food photographer E. Jane Armstrong artfully showcase Casey’s mouthwatering creations. This is the long-awaited full-color cookbook from “an inventor of dishes that dazzle the eye and the palate.” -- Craig Claiborne
