Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Walla Walla onion tart with fresh goat cheese and summer herb pesto

    • hillsboroks on July 25, 2019

      This tart has flavor layered upon flavor and the fresh summer herb pesto adds the perfect final flourish. I think it would make an outstanding appetizer as tiny individual tarts as well.

  • Curried butternut squash and pear bisque

    • bwhip on November 27, 2017

      Really delicious. The counterbalance of the sweetness of the pears and apple cider with the kick of the curry is quite perfect. Easy to prepare, and perfect for fall.

  • Dungeness crab and corn risotto

    • hillsboroks on September 01, 2021

      Making the corn broth is a bit of effort but totally worth it in this corn luscious dish. Note that the recipe calls for two ears of corn, shucked. I took this to mean corn cut off the cob. I used half the corn from making the corn broth and added the cut kernels as directed. I had fresh Dungeness crab and wanted to be able to taste it with the corn. I think the Pesto covered up the crab flavor. Next time I would use much less Pesto or skip it altogether. In any event this was a lovely risotto that I would make again.

  • Lemon verbena ice cream

    • hillsboroks on September 25, 2016

      This is luscious, a bit exotic and very easy to make. I served it with fresh boysenberry sorbet and they complimented each other wonderfully. I think I will have to make another batch before the frost comes and takes my lemon verbena leaves until next year. This ice cream would be perfect served with just about any berry in any form - sorbet, sauce, fresh, etc.

Publishers Text

Recipes, wine notes, and farm-to-kitchen stories from one of the country's top regional restaurants, Paley's Place, in culinary hot spot Portland, Oregon.

At Paley's Place Bistro and Bar, Vitaly Paley brings French training and international influences to bear on his unquenchable passion for the local foodstuffs of his adopted Oregon. In The Paley's Place Cookbook, he adapts his food for the home cook, tempting the reader with a casually elegant Walla Walla Onion Tart with Fresh Goat Cheese and Summer Herb Pesto, a show-stopping Cedar Planked Salmon, an indelible Crème Brulée, and many others. Stories of the farmers, fishers, and foragers who supply Paley's Place with ingredients and inspiration; wine notes emphasizing local wines; and photographs of the food, the restaurant, and Oregon landscapes make this book a showcase of the region's culinary riches.

"Paley's Place . . . is recognized as one of the top restaurants in the Northwest, if not the country, and Mr. Paley has been celebrated for applying French techniques to the Northwestern palette of ingredients." --Eric Asimov, New York Times
