Notes about this book

  • Ishie1013 on March 22, 2025

    This book is stunning and well written, but I’m sorry, unless you live on one of the islands flanking Washington and British Columbia, the book is useless as a cookbook. Pretty, engaging in the biographical parts but I think there was one recipe that didn’t require at least an Amazon purchase and maybe five that were remotely plausible even then. Sad to part with it, but this is going in the sell pile.

2015 JAMES BEARD WINNER BEST CHEF: NORTHWEST

Sea and Smoke is as much a culinary adventure as it is a serious restaurant book, chronicling the plucky ambition of a young chef who was determined to create a world-class dining destination on Lummi Island (pronounced like ?yummy”). After working at Noma in Copenhagen, Chef Blaine Wetzel took the principles of hyperlocalism stateside to celebrate what was good and nearby and tasty, off the rugged coast of Seattle.

The ?sea” and ?smoke” from the Pacific Ocean and the restaurant’s own smokehouse, plus foraged ingredients and a local farm, yield a colorful playground of ingredients for the restaurant’s nightly 20-course prix fixe. Recipes include Smoked Mussels, Herring Roe on Kelp with Charred Dandelions, Aged Venison Legs and Wild Lettuce with Seeded Bread, Warm Blueberries and An Ice Cream Made from Sweet Woodruff, and more, all of it mirroring the verdant, sea-salty, foggy surroundings of the coastal Pacific Northwest. If you can’t hop the ferry or charter a plane to Lummi, this book is the next-best thing.
