I used to be freaked out about cooking fish so for years I simply avoided doing it. If I ate fish, someone else prepared it. I finally faced my fear (that’s what we’re supposed to be doing, right?!). If I can do it, so can you. Don’t be intimidated to cook this salmon. It doesn’t take […]
He’s worked in famous kitchens on both coasts, including Daniel Boulud’s namesake in Manhattan and Michel Richard’s Citrus in West Hollywood. He was the sous chef when the French brasserie Balthazar opened in SoHo in the Spring of 1997. But Sascha Lyon, the new executive chef/co-proprietor of 5 Fusion & Sushi Bar in downtown Bend […]
I call this recipe Family Chicken Cacciatore because it makes enough to feed the whole family plus extra and it’s one of those meals that can be made and served in the same pot. That means whoever’s doing kitchen clean-up gets a break too! It’s delicious on its own but is also very good served with […]
Since the Source Weekly’s Central Oregon Pets Issue comes out this week, it only made sense to feature a recipe for our furry friends. This one is specifically for our four-legged canine friends (sorry cats, rabbits, ponies, etc.). Dogs do make up the majority of pet ownership in the U.S. with 69 million households having […]
My last meal would likely be a taco, some guacamole and chips and a margarita to wash it down. I rarely eat any Mexican food that I don’t absolutely love, so I am biased, no doubt. However, I’m doing my best to be neutral and honest about my recent Papi Chulo’s experience. Papi Chulo’s Jalisco […]

The best cheesecake this side of heaven” is the slogan for Little Slice of Heaven Cheesecakes; which now has a food cart inside The Podski on NW Arizona Avenue in Bend. The Sunriver-based company, founded by Julie Higgins a number of years ago, is still proud to handcraft each and every cheesecake. Little Slice of […]
Hummus is the Arabic word for chickpeas, also known by the Spanish-derived name of garbanzo beans. Chickpeas are the main ingredient in the Middle Eastern dip or spread called hummus, which is made from cooked, mashed chickpeas typically blended with lemon juice, garlic and tahini (a sesame seed paste). In Egypt, the popular dip is […]
This week I couldn’t decide whether to share a football party recipe or a Valentine’s Day recipe, but after reading that brownies were a Top 10 Super Bowl party snack on several lists, I landed on a compromise: Heavenly Hash Cake and Marshmallow Brownies. Whether you’re making snacks for the Big Game this coming weekend […]
A few years ago I hosted a season of the Food Life Podcast. In episode 10, I had the honor of interviewing Izabela Wojcik, Director, Friends of James Beard Benefits with the James Beard Foundation.
