Food 911!

For once I was paying attention and reading the paper online at the right time to find out about Tyler Florence's visit to Seattle...he did a cooking demo at Macy*s downtown last week and I seats! I invited my boss, Linda, for the other seat (Steve had to work). I have to thank her for moving fast and snagging front row seats. We had a good time, and they gave us tastes and recipe cards for all of the items he cooked.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Chili-Coconut Sauce

Coconut-Tomato Salad

Lemon Ricotta Crepes with Blueberries and Fresh Bananas


Tyler does a cool show on Food Network called Food 911 (among others). He also has put out a few cookbooks (you should have seen the line to get books autographed!!).


Tom Douglas, one of Seattle's most famous chefs, was in attendance. He's the guy with the big hair in the middle at the very back of the photo, leaning on the wall. We experienced a Douglas dinner creation at Teatro Zinzanni last week. I can't wait for friends from out of town to visit so we can take them to the dinner and show - it was great!! Of course, no cameras allowed...sorry!!
