Testing Their Takeout Skills
Elevation, the restaurant at Central Oregon Community College’s Cascade Culinary Institute, has already been on foodies’ radars as a place to eat an elegant meal for a lower-than-usual price. It’s a place where budding chefs and hopeful hospitality professionals learn how to hone their skills and land a career in the industry. But when COVID-19 […]
The Pantry: A new concept for the former Devore’s/Humble Beet location
A new mercantile-meets-coffee-shop is now open on Bend’s Newport Avenue. The Pantry, located in the former Devore’s and Humble Beet building, opened Jan. 8. The store’s bulk section stocks pantry items including nuts, seeds, flour and mixes such as pizza dough. “We got really excited about extending the pantry of our kitchen,” Co-owner Stephen Thompson told […]
Warm Up with Homemade Broths and Stocks
While grocery store shelves are usually stocked with an array of canned and boxed varieties, making a delicious broth for sipping or a stock as a base for other soups and recipes is something you can do while doing other things, such as working on your computer or doing the laundry.
Intermittent Feasting
The New Year is often a time to contemplate oneโs relationship with calories. After months of culturally sanctioned gluttony, we find ourselves suddenly facing a cold empty chasm with a familiar question: will we fill this void with purpose, or leftover eggnog?

A classic tomato soup was high on the list of finalists, while French onionโsimple yet seemingly fancyโhardly ranked at all. Beef stew, another option, didn’t get many votes, and neither […]
Food on the Fly
As the world turns its attention to vaccines and the promise of a new year that will bring far better days than 2020’s, it might be easy to forget that a few short months ago, thousands of Oregonians lost their homes during one of the most destructive summer wildfire seasons the state has ever seen. […]
Big Flavor for a Small Holiday Gathering
Crook, Jefferson and Deschutes counties are among the 25 counties falling under COVID-19 “extreme risk” status, which means holiday gatherings indoors and out must be kept to six or fewer people from no more than two households. But people can still stay safe this season without going full Scrooge. Keep this year’s holiday guest list […]
Think Outside the Pie
For a family-sized holiday dessert, think outside the pie with a swiss rollโperfect for a small holiday centerpiece. Composed of a simple sponge cake and a filling such as jam and whipped cream, it offers a light dessert after a heavy holiday dinner. The only tricky part: rolling the cake so it features the signature […]
