Recipe Testing: Braised Duck Ragu

Though my rendition of Braised Duck Ragu may not have been precisely what Chef Elisa Marzano intended, it was scrumptious, and not that difficult to prepare.

And here are some action shots from the past 3 days. Whether you caught them at @tasteoftacoma or not, make sure to look for @cheesuskris; @tibbittsfernhill; @chefjbald of @chuchbyjon; @hudson.slater at @asado_tacoma; @253degrees at @enramatacoma; and @janparkercookery at @proctorfarmersmarket, @tacomafarmersmarket, @tacomanightmarket, and @gigharbornightmarket! #southsoundchefs #tacomaeatslocal #TacomaAromaFlavor
Here's a sampling of some of the awesome food cranked out by #TacomaAromaFlavor chefs on The Taste Cooks stage. During @tasteoftacoma competitions, chefs had only 25 minutes to create dishes using ingredients revealed to them at the very last moment. Then, as they scrambled to prepare their meals, emcee @chefinthehat asked them questions about themselves, their businesses, and cooking techniques...forcing the chefs to multi-task, not simply to respond, but to engage and entertain the audience. It was impressive to witness these talented folks in action! @tibbittsfernhill @253degrees @chefjbald @janparkercookery @hudson.slater @cheesuskris
@cheesuskris & @auramaefood just finished competing on @tasteoftacoma The Taste Cooks stage. Two beautiful treatments of locally wild-caught salmon, pineapple, and red onion. Kris Blondin won with her version, and got a high 5 from @thechefinthehat. Kris (Not me. I'm the "other" Kris) is launching her latest delicious business...Devour LLC, featuring The Deep Dish Podcast & Blog + Amitie Wine Company. Watch for details, coming soon! #MeetMeAtTheTaste
Don't miss out on the LAST DAY of The Taste or the talented chefs performing on The Taste Cooks! stage. With @chefinthehat as the emcee, you're guaranteed to laugh, learn, and leave inspired to create your own delicious, seasonal dishes at home! #MeetMeAtTheTaste #Repost @chefinthehat ・・・ On stage with @lessthandomesticgoddess At Taste of Tacoma! The Taste Cooks! event presented by @albertleeappliance this afternoon. Two chefs are given three mystery ingredients and a limited amount of time to create an amazing dish. The Taste Cooks! also includes cooking demos where chefs cook and share their favorite dishes. The stage kitchen is fully equipped with @samsungus and @samsunghomeappliances The Taste Cooks! is back today, June 23rd, with more exciting cook-offs and demos. Be sure to check it all out at Taste of Tacoma! Great work @albertleeappliance for supporting local events and inviting our friends to join! #shopalbertlee #meetmeatthetaste #ChefCollection

After yesterday's marathon of @tasteoftacoma deliciousness, I'm looking for a simple base-layer of tasty nutrition to launch my day: @sharethewealthorganics "Green" eggs, no glam. ~If you're at The Taste today, you can pick up your own @totallybamboo Tacoma cutting board from Liz @stocklistgoods. She's among the vendors just beyond restaurant row, with a view of the water. Drop by to say hi! #MeetMeAtTheTaste (I'll be back at The Taste Cooks! stage for the 12:30 cook-off between Chefs Jon Maley & Hudson Slater. See you there!)
What an amazing day at @tasteoftacoma! My fellow judges and I took our charge very seriously, while also having a TON of fun. Our excellent team of taste buds, gathered by the fabulous @trudi_webster, included: @tacoma_wa @tastytacoma @eatingthepnw @justheretoeat and @traveltacoma. #chowingdowninthesouthsound #eatinglikethemountainisout #MeetMeAtTheTaste
If you've never been to a @thetabletacoma pairing meal, here's your opportunity. The seats fill fast, so don't miss out! #Repost @thetabletacoma ・・・ Wine Dinner!!! Join us next Tuesday 6/25 and enjoy @zestfulgardens late spring harvest with wine maker @paetrariesling for a ten course evening filled with awesomeness!
Look for these 6 talented chefs Friday-Sunday on The Taste Cooks stage. They'll be sharing cooking tips as they prepare signature dishes. And they'll be competing against one another, creatively incorporating mystery ingredients into their dishes. They're all involved in some way with #TacomaAromaFlavor, and I can't wait to cheer then on during @tasteoftacoma! Will you be there? #MeetMeAtTheTaste #southsoundchefs
Punch me! #punchoftheday @devils_reef
Squash blossoms from @sharethewealthorganics were the perfect feature for our frittata. Add a nice side of fresh greens and a glass of rose from @andrewwillwinery, and you've got yourself a tasty #vegetarian meal! #freshisbest #FreshLocalOrganicSeasonalSustainable #squashblossoms
Whatcha gots? Fresh garlics from @sharethewealthorganics? Lemme! I eats. #easilyentertained #organiccattoys #catsoftacoma

When does the crowd-funding campaign launch?

To be notified when we launch the crowd-funding campaign later this year, send us a message with your email address. We promise not to spam you or otherwise hurl pork products in your direction. Thanks for your interest. Please tell your friends! 

And on that note, a word about pop-ups…

…You’ll notice there aren’t any. That’s because we loathe pop-up advertising, even if it’s to our benefit to ask for your contact info. Pop-ups slow pages down and interfere with the user experience. But apparently they’re pretty effective, because they seem to be everywhere on the interwebs. But not here! If you’re interested in what we’re doing and want to hear from us on occasion, or if you want to support the project by becoming a (non-pop-up ad) sponsor, we invite you to opt in by dropping us a line. Thanks!
