Summary: Outstanding Oregon Recipes
Review: Outstanding Oregon Recipes features recipes which use foods from the fields, waters, orchards, and fertile valleys of Oregon. One of the most topographically diverse states, its bounty of produce is equally diverse.

Snow-capped mountains, deserts, fertile valleys, waterfalls, canyons, volcanoes, and rivers make up Oregon's spectacular beauty. More than just a feast for the eyes, the wines are world class, seafood is abundant, Oregon fruits are famous, and the dairy products are delectable. Some of the specialties featured in Outstanding Oregon Recipes are: hazelnuts, blueberries, apples, raspberries, pears, cranberries, peaches, cheeses, poultry, beef, lamb, fish, seafood, mushrooms, and more-consider "Sage Grilled Halibut with Nectarine Sauce," "Mushroom Vegetable Egg Delight," "Cheddar Apple Dandy." The full-color cover features a picture of Mount Hood by Ray Atkeson. Line art by Diane Heusinkveld is throughout the book. Famous sites and attractions of Oregon are highlighted in a 12-page section.

Daniela Sipkova Mahoney, the compiler, was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. She now lives in Portland with her husband, Patrick Mahoney, and two children. Her hobby of Ukrainian egg decorating and her interest in folk crafts has developed into a business presenting workshops around the state and throughout the U.S. She has worked as a tour guide and especially promotes the scenic, artistic, and culinary beauty of Oregon.

Outstanding Oregon Recipes is one of a series of regional and state titles in the "Stocking Stuffer" format published by Penfield Press.
