What a Tallant!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of lunching with Judy Tallant at her 100+ year old home on her estate in Monroe, WA. Judy served a Pithivier filled with chicken, spinach, garlic, and fresh parmesan, in puff pastry - and a mixed greens salad with a fig and pomegranate balsamic vinaigrette. Desserts included toasted vanilla bean marshmallows, little lemon meringue tartlets, pistachio and raspberry Parisian macarons, candied Mandarin orange peel, and entremet of hazelnut, espresso and chocolate. I know...could you just faint over this menu?? Her pastries are made with all natural ingredients. Mix that in with Judy's homemade touch and you'll agree that Tallant House is one of most amazing dessert experiences you'll ever have! -- DJ LESLIE

Wedding Cookies

So many regions of this country offer different wedding traditions. In western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio, for example, hundreds of cookies adorn desert tables at wedding celebrations. Wedding guests in Pittsburgh seem to come for the cookies first and foremost, leaving the party at the end of the night with boxes of cream-filled lady locks, snowflake-shaped pizzelles and chewy nut cups. With tremendous variety of shapes and flavors, it's no wonder the popularity is expanding beyond the mid-west and east coast.

Eastside Gem


The Harbor Club in Bellevue has to be one of the finest establishments on Eastside. The view is tremendous, the Cascade and Olympic Rooms available for weddings and events are amazing, but most of all we are impressed with the professional staff. Chef David Thierry's experience at The Four Seasons Olympic Hotel, the Herbfarm, along with local and European training, makes him the real gem of this venue. For people who want a top notch food experience, this is the place.
With two tremendous spots atop buildings in the heart of each downtown, the Harbor Club Seattle and Bellevue both offer an excellent event experience. Being a private club, membership is required, but upon viewing these places and tasting the food, you'll want to join!
