Visited by nine million people each year, Pike Place Market is Seattle's most beloved attraction. The Pike Place Market Cookbook is a guide to shopping for and learning about the incredible range of foods available at the Market. The cookbook introduces newcomers and long-time Market fans to the community of people who know, prepare, sell, and serve the foods of the Northwest. Seattle's Pike Place Market, one of the oldest public markets in the country, has a national reputation; it's one of the showcases of the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Rex-Johnson, a recent market convert, spent a year interviewing the people who work at the market, from food sellers to restaurateurs, and collecting their favorite recipes. The result is a lively and appealing work filled with enticing recipes (many of them ethnic specialties, reflecting the diversity of Seattle's population): Chicken with Cherry-Wine Sauce from the Chukar Cherry Company, Caponata from Lombrici's Organic Farm, Roast King Salmon with Pinot Noir Mustard Sauce from Cafe Sophie.
