Hi there! Welcome to the Taste Of The Place store!  I am the self-taught cook behind the blog Taste Of The Place and the producer and editor of the Taste Of The Place cookbook. A few of my favorite things - interesting and authentic foods from around the world, cabernet franc from Washington's Columbia Valley, and cups of strong black tea served with scones and clotted cream. When I'm not in the kitchen or writing a blog post, you can usually find me trail running in the hills near my home in Central Washington state. Visit my food blog at TasteOfThePlace.com. So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God 1 Corinthians 10:31
