Describe your culinary style.
Food for grown-ups (mostly). Because we are in Seattle, we tend to cook a lot of Northwest and Pacific Rim inspired food with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.

We get inspiration from everywhere?the latest food magazines, our cookbook collections, family recipes, our foodie friends and eating out. We are constantly trying new recipes, but we only share the ones we really love on A Passionate Plate.

For someone new to your blog, which recipe do you recommend they try first?
Definitely check out our?Cod in Coconut Curry!
Here are two of our favorite appetizers:?Salty, Sweet, Sticky Wings?and?Vietnamese Style Fresh Rolls.
A couple of beautiful desserts:?Pumpkin Maple Cheesecake?and?Whole Wheat Rosemary Lemon Bars.
And a pasta dish we love:?White Wine Spaghetti with Arugula.

What is your ultimate guilty food pleasure??
Joy says, ?Mac & Cheese. Beecher?s if possible.?
