  • Photos Fried rice makes a satisying, easy meal

    Starchy, crunchy and flavorful, fried rice is a deeply satisfying dish no matter what you add to it. And you can add just about any vegetable or protein you care to name, fresh or left over.

  • Photos Links Area author dishes on her NW style of cooking

    Jess Thomson travels the state in search of both Washington’s food heritage and its future. The Seattle-based cookbook author is a contributor to Sunset and a host of other magazines and is out with a new book: “Dishing Up Washington: 150 Recipes That Capture Authentic Regional Flavors.”

  • Photos Roll up a savory turkey wrap

    Turkey slices, sweet pimentos and pickles rolled together in a colorful tortilla make a quick, put-together sandwich that can easily be taken to eat on the run.

  • Photos Branch out with DIY crackers Nibbles prove crisp, earthy, addictive

    I set out on my quest to create crackers at home with just two parameters. First, I would spurn yeast. The goal was speed and simplicity, not hours waiting for single-celled organisms to digest dinner. Other leaveners — baking powder and baking soda — would be fine.

  • Explore Reininger wines

    When Chuck Reininger decided to get into winemaking rather than brewing, the Walla Walla Valley still was a bit of a backwater in the Washington wine industry, home to just a handful of high-quality producers.

  • Photos Sublime veggie burgers

    The best-tasting veggie burger I’ve ever met is falafel. A product of the Middle East, falafel are deep-fried fritters made from ground chickpeas or fava beans that are tucked into pita pockets and drizzled with tahini. They are delicious, hearty, inexpensive and relatively healthful.
