Portland Tribune: TK IN THE NEWS

Terrace Kitchen recipes are noted

We are always joyful this time of year as our friends here in Lake Oswego and abroad seem to look to us for instruction where the holiday table and entertaining are concerned.
Recently featured in the Washington Post, our Thanksgiving recipes from our cookbook are popular throughout the nation. Food editor and friend Bonnie Benwick took the time to “re-test” our “tested” recipes so we thought our friends here in Lake Oswego would appreciate our gesture to offer them a look at the recipes.
Benwick states that “If you’re looking for a way to enliven the holiday table yet keep things traditional, you need only include more of the Americas: North, Central, South. A rich, dark mole from Mexico can envelop or accompany turkey; a shrimp and avocado salad from Chile can provide a cool, creamy way to start the meal.” And so it goes, “Our inspiration for this year’s menu comes from Fernando and Marlene Divina, who collaborated on their cookbook, ‘Foods of the Americas: Native Recipes and Traditions,’ with the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian and helped develop the museum’s Mitsitam Cafe. The couple own the Terrace Kitchen restaurant in Lake Oswego, Ore.,” “...their recipes represent a contemporary cross-section of American society. Add some of these flavors, and your own celebration will, too.”

Wishing all of our friends here in Lake Oswego a splendid holiday season.
