Cascadian Cuisine

Cascadian cuisine refers to the culinary style that emerges from the Pacific Northwest region of North America, particularly Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. It emphasizes local, seasonal ingredients, often featuring fresh seafood, foraged plants, berries, and organic produce. The cuisine reflects the region's diverse landscapes, from mountains to coastlines, and incorporates influences from various cultures, including Indigenous, Asian, and European flavors. Sustainability and environmental consciousness are integral to Cascadian cuisine, as chefs prioritize eco-friendly practices and support local farmers and fishers. This approach creates dishes that are both delicious and deeply connected to the region's natural resources.
