About Craig

craig1aThis site is my way of sharing a lifetime of experiences with Northwest food and wine. The recipes are original and come from friends, family and my own imagination.

I have been in the food industry for 35 years, and wine has been part of my working life since the early ’70s when I lived in California’s Napa Valley.

I have learned that coming home from work and cooking a meal doesn’t have to be a chore. I choose recipes that generally include no more than five ingredients and can be ready in 45 minutes. Each makes a tasty, elegant alternative to fast food.

I suggest wines to pair with each meal and will only recommend wines I have tasted.

This is simple but extreme food that will challenge your senses. Join me if you have a taste for Northwest flavor adventures.

Kla-how-yah,
Craig Miller

KLA-HOW-YAH!

I grew up with a family that was truly Northwest. We were Hunter/Gathers. From clam digging and crabbing at Grayland, Huckleberry picking at Mount Adams, Salmon fishing and a Bear Hunt on the Straits of Juan De Fuca, Camping at my Aunt and Uncles Cabin at Monte Cristo, Oysters at The Doseiwallups on the Canal to Trout Fishing in British Columbia; I enjoyed it all growing up. We ate really good with the things we got. I learned well at a young age to enjoy life. Preparing a fine meal and pairing the wine to go with it can be intimidating. It doesn't have to be. It is and should be fun. So come along listen to my stories, try out my original recipes, and enjoy the wines I suggest. You might Like it!
