In 1998, Jean-Francois Pellet packed up the house

In 1998, Jean-Francois Pellet packed up the house he'd recently bought in Napa and his family, including a new baby, and moved to Walla Walla. His plan was to stay two years, but 20 years later, he's a pillar in the Washington wine community with no plans to go elsewhere. So grab a bottle from @pepperbridgewinery and @amavicellars or one of your favorite bottles of @wwvalleywine and celebrate #WallaWallaValleyWineMonth with us!

Read more about Pellet and other international winemakers on our website and in the spring issue of Edible Inland Northwest.

It's National Beer Day! Let us know what local beer you're celebrating with today!

Thanks to hops from Yakima and Walla Walla and grains from the Palouse, we live in a region that takes pride in its beer and all those who help it get from grain to glass! So #cheers to you, our Inland Northwest Brewers and Imbibers. We hope that you have a great #NationalBeerDay, but everyday is great when you're enjoying a beer from one of our fantastic local breweries!

After settling in Spokane following the Iranian Revolution, Fery Haghighi of @feryscatering has been a part of the local food landscape for almost 40 years.
"When we came here, there were only chain restaurants...Spokane has come such a long way since then."

As the region recovers, how have you seen our local food scene change recently and what would you like to see in the future?!

Our friend @jamie.aquinokusina was kind enough to share this spring recipe for fresh green beans with us. You may know her as a culinary instructor around town, but Jamie is a huge support to the local farmers market and small business community. She also runs @inlandempirelocalfest, a fantastic festival celebrating all things local. All of Jamie's recipes highlight local produce, so be sure to follow her as we enter farmers market season!

If you want to try some of Jamie's cooking first hand, she is taking over @InlandCurry this week with a Mexican menu including Tortilla Soup and Black Bean Tamale Pie!

Find this recipe and more on our website!
