The Portlandia Cookbook: Cook Like a Local!The companion cookbook to the hit show Portlandia by the Emmy-nominated stars and writers Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, with 50 delicious recipes for every food lover, freegan, organic farmer, and food truck diehard.
Food plays a very special role in Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein’s award-winning satire Portlandia. Here are recipes for the dishes that define the show, from cult-raised chicken and Stu’s stews to pickled veggies and foraged green salads. Complete with new full-color finished food photographs and illustrations, humorous stories and sidebars from the loveable food-obsessed Portlandia characters (such as Mr. Mayor, Peter and Nance, and Colin the chicken), and advice on how to choose a bed and breakfast and behave at a communal table, this is a funny cookbook—with serious recipes—for anyone who loves food. And yes, the chicken’s local.
review
Always being a fan of the actual show Portlandia, I jumped into an opportunity to read this book and see what awesome recipes I can find. But WARNING! This cookbook is not just your regular cookbook. With everything from food description & funny comics, it has a great way of highlighting the incredible Portland culture and its quirks. Think my favorite part was definitely Pretzel Knots because, well HELLLLOOO! It's pretzels and I would eat a whole pound of them in one setting if I could. The book itself is divided into 5 sections which are Small Plates, Main Courses, Desserts, Drinks and Brunch. Recipes include notes from local chefs and the images are perfectly illustrated and absolutely beautiful!
