GREG ATKINSON launched the dining program at the nationally acclaimed Friday Harbor House on San Juan Island and revitalized the menu at Seattle’s venerable Canlis restaurant. He is the chef/owner of the award-winning Restaurant Marché on Bainbridge Island.
Atkinson recognizes the way writing about something is like cooking it, the way reading is like eating. In the introduction, he writes, “Like putting thoughts on paper, putting food on the table is less a function of where it happens than what it really is. Bad writing comes from bad ideas, and bad meals come from bad food.” And there’s nothing bad in In Season.

His style is lyrical and inviting; the recipes have the familiar sense of place, of family, of comforting smells, of light. Reading the book, you feel as if you’re sitting in a pool of sunshine, waiting for dinner to come out of the oven.
