A gorgeous glass of fruity, tequila-y goodness to welcome the warm days to come
Rev up the blender: We’ve got a recipe for a dreamy, frozen sipper coming your way. These Sunset Margaritas from local foodie and Spache the Spatula blogger Rachael Dart are indeed little delicious sunsets in a glass. Dart combined apricots with a marionberry topping to get the layered look you see above. “I think both…
Where to Find the Goods for your Next Picnic
As the sun returns, so does one of life’s simplest pleasures: good food enjoyed alfresco on the lawn
After one of the soggiest Seattle winters in recent memory, we’re ready to get back to eating outdoors. And while there’s much to love about good restaurant patio—particularly when oysters and something bubbly are enjoyed during a warmish spring happy hour—this is an ode to our favorite way to dine alfresco: the picnic. Grab a…
The Strangest Thing Our Food Editor Saw This Weekend
Port Angeles is home to one wacky kitchen-sink Bloody Mary
I’m not big on gimmicks. But, I love a great food photo. And this one’s beyond Instagram-worthy. For starters, I didn’t actually consume the Shipwreck Bloody Mary ($19) at H20 Waterfront Bistro in Port Angeles (no website but here’s the Yelp page, 222 N. Lincoln Ave; 360.452.4261). My next-table neighbor did. But, as I dug…
Q&A with Macklemore collaborator, rapper Xperience
How the Seattle rapper found joy on tour with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Rapper Tyler XP Andrews had a big hand in the latest Macklemore & Ryan Lewis record, This Unruly Mess I’ve Made, including writing credits on the songs “Brad Pitt’s Cousin” and “Let’s Eat.” As such, the hip-hop duo asked Andrews to join them on their latest European tour, where we caught up with the lyricist during…
How to Make Douglas Fir-Infused Vodka
Forager Langdon Cook makes a toast to the trees with Douglas fir–infused vodka
I like to kick off my dinner parties with a celebratory elixir. Before tucking into any food or wine, I serve my guests shot glasses filled with a luminous green spirit. It’s really more chartreuse in color, with a viscosity less than that of syrup, but slightly thicker than water. We toast the trees. The…
Houzz Tour: A Seattle Remodel Channels Palm Springs
Indoor and outdoor living merge atypically in this Pacific Northwest home
This article originally appeared on Houzz.com. You often hear about a house being really well built, and that was definitely the case with this remodeled 1908 Craftsman. But “well built” and “well laid out” are two entirely different things. “The whole way it was set up prevented you from having any connection to the view…
Café Nordo’s ‘To Savor Tomorrow’ is First-Class Fun
Story, food and atmosphere work together to create a theatrical experience
Those who aren’t already familiar with Cafe Nordo would be forgiven for assuming it’s a place to grab a cup of coffee. But what they’re really serving up in the Pioneer Square space that was once home to Elliott Bay Book Company, is an immersive production where story, food and atmosphere work together to create…

Recipe of the Week: Rhubarb & Banana Sherbet
Amy Pennington whips up a simple sherbet
Excerpted from Fresh Pantry: Rhubarb. Kindle Edition. Homemade ice pops, more icy than creamy, make a simple and easy frozen dessert.

World’s first La Marzocco cafe and showroom opens in Seattle
Cafe and showroom will feature rotating Roasters in Residence program
Nothing goes better together than music and coffee. Maybe that’s why Italy’s La Marzocco, a leader in espresso machine innovation, has opened its first cafe and showroom inside KEXP’s New Home in Seattle Center. We’d like to think they chose Seattle because of our cutting edge music scene and coffee culture, but it’s actually because…
Seattle Rapper, Spekulation, releases new song protesting Uncle Ike’s
The rapper points out the hypocrisy on 23rd and Union
The trope imposed on people who smoke marijuana has always been that they’re lazy, zoned out and unthinking. It’s a lame and lazy characterization. Want proof? Just look to Seattle rapper, author and admitted smoker, Matt “Spek” Watson, who this week (on 4/20) released the first single, “Uncle Ike” from his anticipated new record, Nine…
