Pass the Plate
by Carolina Gelen
James Beard Award Winner • New York Times Bestseller
Viral recipe creator and food blogger Carolina Gelen brings her inventive, unfussy approach to comfort food in Pass the Plate—a James Beard Award–winning cookbook packed with 100 recipes that are simple, satisfying, and full of personality.
Gelen’s style is creative but approachable—think Chicken Schnitzel with Caramelized Lemon Gremolata, Many Mushrooms Lasagna, or Upside-Down Pineapple Coconut Cake. Her recipes celebrate good food shared with friends and the joy of cooking without pretense.
Here in Portland, we’re especially excited about this one: with the new James Beard Market opening soon just steps from our shop—and Beard himself being a proud Portlander—we’re celebrating by bringing in a collection of James Beard Award–winning cookbooks that reflect the creativity, inclusivity, and craft that define our city’s food scene.
Pass the Plate is full of warmth, gorgeous photography, and the kind of food that makes everyone feel welcome at the table.
