Our Culinary Soul Captured
A new guide to Northwest wining and dining details this fine moment in time

People in the food and beverage industry are notoriously fleet of foot.

Waiters and waitresses, chefs, even owners tend to bounce from one property to the next like so many particles of salt suspended in brine. So as soon as they hit the press, restaurant guidebooks are often obsolete. But every now and then comes a reference that so perfectly captures a particular time and place that updates are moot. Punctuated with recipes, personal portraits and insightful instructions on how to appreciate certain aspects of life in a particular place, great guidebooks can be more than references; they are treasures. Patricia Wells' guidebooks to France are like that.
