Seattle chef Greg Atkinson, is winning accolades for his new Restaurant Marché on Bainbridge Island. But his culinary career began on lovely San Juan Island. In his reissued memoir Greg Atkinson’s In Season: Culinary Adventures of a Pacific Northwest Chef (Sasquatch Books; March 2014; $22.95), Atkinson describes his appreciation for local ingredients, the passage of the seasons, the joys of young family life, and, of course, simple and gratifying meals.

When In Season was originally published in 1997, the concept of eating seasonally was far ahead of its time. Atkinson writes, “while the intervening years have been rich and productive, no period in this writer’s life has been quite as meaningful or as magical as that time was. I was developing my skills as a chef, learning to be a husband, father, neighbor, and citizen in a small town. And like my take on everything then, my youthful perspectives on many of the ingredients and combinations were fresh, unclouded by overlaying years.”
This new edition includes gorgeous color photography by Charity Burggraaf. Atkinson is a gifted and passionate writer, observant of all the senses and emotions when it comes to great meals—whether a holiday spread or a picnic on the beach. Open the cover of Greg Atkinson’s In Season and dive into one delicious year.
Tickets are $50 and are available for purchase at The Market Chef and Griffin Bay Books.
This event is presented by the SJI Ag Guild and Griffin Bay Bookstore and is part of the SJI Ag Guild’s Live Life Well Education Series. These culinary events provide various learning experiences with guest chefs, cookbook authors, restauranteurs and other local gastronomes.
