After more than 25 years running her renowned restaurants, Erickson is reconnecting with the artistic intuition that has been key to her success in this deeply personal new book. Showcasing Erickson's own paintings and photographs, Sunlight & Breadcrumbs features more than 100 recipes born out of the spirit of creativity, while encouraging and guiding readers to trust their own creative impulses while cooking.
Renee Erickson is a James Beard award-winning chef, author, and co-owner of multiple properties in Seattle, Washington: The Walrus and the Carpenter, The Whale Wins, Barnacle, Boat Bar, Bateau, Lioness, Deep Dive, Willmott's Ghost, Westward, and several General Porpoise Doughnuts and Coffee locations.
As a Seattle native (well, Woodinville to be exact), Renee's restaurants highlight the bounty of the Pacific Northwest with a European sensibility. Bon Appetit Magazine has compared her to M.F.K. Fisher, Elizabeth David, and Julia Child. Renee Erickson's food, casual style, and appreciation of simple beauty is an inspiration to her staff and guests in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.Dedicated to creating an environment that not only nourishes the body, but feeds the soul, her restaurant design work with business partner Jeremy Price, Price Erickson, have received national press and attention.
In 2014 she published her first cookbook "A Boat, a Whale and a Walrus" to critical acclaim, finding itself on top reading lists while winning a 2015 PNBA book award - the first for a cookbook.
Her second book "Getaway" Food and Drink to Transport You, released in April 2021. GETAWAY invites you on a culinary journey via her favorite places in the world—Rome, Paris, Normandy, Baja California, London, and her hometown, Seattle. Equally aspirational travelogue and practical guide to cooking at home, the book offers 120 recipes and 60 cocktail recipes for simple meals that evoke the dreamiest places and cuisines.
Renee graduated from the University of Washington with a BFA and currently serves on the board at UW's School of Art + Art History + Design. She lives in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood with her husband Dan, KittyB, and her pooch Bowie.Long time performing songwriter Tracy Spring is known for her well-crafted songs about the human condition, rich, compelling vocals, and versatile guitar playing.

Sarah Murphy-Kangas was born and raised in Bellingham and came back 13 years ago, as so many of us do.

Some of the songs she'll play as featured musician for the Chuckanut Radio Hour are from her lyric-based Grandmother Tales series of children's books. Grandmother Tales tell uplifting stories of kindness, courage, and caring for each other and our beautiful Earth. She'll be joined by local musician/illustrator Bob Paltrow for "Love Doesn't Care Who You Love," coming soon to Village Books!
