Urban Pantry + Volunteer Park Cafe = Garden Cookbook Dinner PDF Print E-mail

I am teaming up with the Dream Team that is Volunteer Park Cafe to serve a family style feast at Volunteer Park Cafe on Sunday, August 8.
Ericka Burke and Heather Earnhardt will be creating a fabulous meal to celebrate the bounty of seasonal ingredients and also showcase some of the preserves, jams, and other goodies found in Urban Pantry: Tips & Recipes for a Thrifty, Sustainable & Seasonal Kitchen. I have long loved VPC - I was a fast fan when they opened and before they got hella busy. It's one of my favorite places in town to grab lunch in between garden work and pack a cookie for the road.

In Urban Pantry, I share practical ways to create a full and delicious larder by keeping essential pantry ingredients on hand for enticing meals and snacks. Ericka & Heather do the same thing. It's a great match and I'm thrilled. “Amy’s book is a perfect complement to our core beliefs here at the cafe,” says chef/owner Ericka Burke.  “We are excited to collaborate with her and looking forward to showcasing some of our garden produce at the dinner.”

Join us ladies for a multi-course family style dinner on Sunday, August 8.  Dinner begins at 6pm and cost is $65/person, which includes a selection of organically produced wines from Snoqualmie winery and a signed copy of Urban Pantry. Space is limited and reservations are required. Please call the cafe at 206.328.3155 for reservations.

Seriously...........how good does this sound? They ACED the menu. Hope to see you all there. oxo ~ amy
