At triple "W," we love Oregon hazelnuts. So last week, we had an over-the-top moment. Lucky us. We got the Oregon grower, Darlene Chambers (left hand side of the photo above), and renown cookbook author, Jan Roberts-Dominguez, together to talk hazelnuts and preview the new "Oregon Hazelnut Country" cookbook. Jan is a talent. She researched, wrote and designed the recipes/stories for this unique cookbook. She also included many of her beautiful watercolors sprinkled throughout the cookbook's recipes and stories.
Interesting factoid: Oregon produces over 99% of the nation's domestic crop of hazelnuts (also known as filberts).
We were lucky enough to have Jan sign the book and, to our surprise, she included in the cookbook the recipe for "Rogue River Salad"--and the story behind the recipe. See, about a year ago, triple "W" contacted Jan after seeing her recipe for Jan's hazelnut caramels. We figured if she could create something that great with sugar, she might be able to improvise a unique hazelnut river salad--designed just for our lucky Rogue River guests. And that's exactly what Jan did. Below is the fabulous recipe she created especially for Whitewater Warehouse's lucky river guests but you'll love it too--on or off the river.
Want to get your hands on this unique cookbook? You can order it through the Oregon Hazelnut Marketing Board or directly off Jan's own website. Price is $24.95 plus shipping.
