\n<\/div>\n
\nWe continue our gastronomic world tour with Seattle… Really surprising city, almost retro-futuristic. On the program of our visit, the Pike Place walk then the Seattle Center with its stands from another world and a store which is the paradise of the amateur or professional cook… <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nA radiant sun was waiting for me to start my little tour of Seattle… I didn’t know that this city would turn out to be so interesting to visit. It is above all a temple of gastronomy with a multitude of restaurants and a whole bunch of stores selling kitchen equipment… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nSo here I am at the Pike Place market, located almost at the edge of one of the many lakes of this beautiful region. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nTo my surprise, this is also where the first Starbucks in the world appeared in March 1971. It is in fact the second one, because the first one was in another street until 1976, but the very first one does not exist since this date… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nBut let’s take a closer look at the market! Under a summer sun, all colors become bright!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThe market is full of vegetables and fruits that I wasn’t used to seeing. Like these purple cauliflowers. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nMany of the stands offer organic fruits and vegetables.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nBut also stranger things like these fruit logs, here cherry, apricot, kiwi, strawberry and peach.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nFor those who think the United States is all about burgers and cheesecakes, here is the perfect counter-example at Pike Place Market! A very large selection of pasta…<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nStands as far as the eye can see… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAnd always the preserved visual of the 50s and 60s that gives its uniqueness to this beautiful city. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nYou’d think they were asparagus, but no… These are the garlic shoots I use in my recipe for Pork with Garlic Shoots… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAnd here is the elephant garlic! I bought two heads that are truly huge! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nYou can see it in my hand… But once cooked, the head of garlic is not very tasty. However, I cooked it in a papillote in the oven with rosemary and olive oil… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nSeafood is also the pride of this city and can be found on most restaurant menus. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThe legs of the ‘King Crabs’ are truly giant… Some can easily reach more than a meter in length!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nIn the galleries of the market, always sellers with their retro style…<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nI can’t tell you how nice the smell of this stand was… A delicious fragrance of roasted peanuts and caramelized cashews… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nNot only the windows, but also the products they contain seem to come from another time… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nNot to be put in all hands (especially mine!!) this giant teddy bear made of thousands of little candy bears!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nWhen we come out, we can admire the blueberries but also a kind of raspberry that I did not know! Yellow or golden raspberries.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nHere you go! Seeing these morels, I’m thinking of making a delicious morel risotto again soon!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nFor cookie lovers, this is a showcase to die for! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nHere is a restaurant of ‘Chowder’, it is in fact a delicious clam juice soup with bacon, potatoes and onions, thickened by a little flour… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThe look of American cakes always makes me want to smile, but I admit to succumbing easily too. And it’s another baking culture but I’m always interested and sometimes envious, like their muffins, cheesecakes and other carrot cakes… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThe next day, we headed to the Seattle Center. To get there, two options. The first one is by foot and the other one is with the 1962 monorail… <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nHead to Fudges’ store, ‘Seattle Fudge’! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nA large choice of fudges…<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nI’ve been saving fudge recipes since I was 13 years old. I’ll have to think about it one day even if I’m not as fanatical as I used to be! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThe interesting thing about this store is that the fudge is made on the spot. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAt the foot of the tower, the ‘Space Needle’, a lunch break is necessary. I didn’t have the courage to stand in line, but this booth apparently had a certain reputation! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nYou can find absolutely everything, like these ‘fried pies’, a kind of empanadas (recipe one day!!) filled with meat. <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nI loved this doughnut trailer!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nAnd I was puzzled by this one, which sold sandwiches filled with tons of meat!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nTo finish, we went to the ‘City Kitchen’ store which is a paradise but I didn’t buy that many things! I already have almost everything and maybe even a little too much… <\/i><\/div>\n
\nCity Kitchen, 1527 Fourth Avenue, Seattle.<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nFor the cookie cutters, it’s even more impressive than in the Kappabashi Dogugai market in Tokyo! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nI took some of them, I have to find new shapes for the shortbread to come! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThere was a section just for ice cream scoops! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThe picture is very dark, but there are two or three galleries of this size in the store! <\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/i><\/div>\n
\nBefore going back to France, a last tour in a coffee shop and its delicious pastries…<\/i><\/div>\n
