In Dishing Up Oregon, Portland food writer Ashley Gartland shares a glimpse of Oregon’s rich food culture with 145 delicious, approachable recipes and colorful essays that tell the stories of the passionate chefs, farmers and artisans who shape the state’s food scene day after day.

Whether the recipe comes from a chef, farmer, inn or Gartland’s own kitchen, each dish in the collection celebrates Oregon’s diverse farm-to-table food scene and delivers a true sense of place. Many of the recipes highlight much-loved regional ingredients like marionberries, hazelnuts, pears and pinot noir in dishes such as Pear-Pepper Chutney, Marionberry Pork Mole and Hazelnut Tassies. But Gartland has also carved out space in each chapter to introduce lesser known local ingredients such as sunchokes, pimientos de Padrón, razor clams, olive oil and more.

With gorgeous photographs by John Valls revealing the state’s bounty and charismatic personalities, Dishing Up Oregon invites home cooks to take a road trip through Oregon and bring its riches home.
