Product Description
At Paley's Place Bistro and Bar, Vitaly Paley brings French training and international influences to bear on his unquenchable passion for the local foodstuffs of his adopted Oregon. In "The Paley's place Cookbook", he adapts his food for the home cook, tempting the reader with a casually elegant Walla Walla Onion Tart with Fresh Goat Cheese and Summer Herb Pesto, a show-stopping Cedar Planked Salmon, an indelible Creme Brulee, and many others. Stories of the farmers, fishers, and foragers who supply Paley's Place with ingredients and inspiration; wine notes emphasizing local wines; and photographs of the food, the restaurant, and Oregon landscapes make this book a showcase of the region's culinary riches.

Although I have had the pleasure of being introduced to the authors of this extraordinary cookbook in person, after you read through the book, you will get to know them as well as I do.
The Paleys make an incredible team. They complement each other with their backgrounds and their knowledge of great food and wine.
The "Paley's Place Cookbook" is a pleasure to read. While glimpsing through the book in search of a recipe, you will find yourself reading a short story on how the recipe came about. You will learn from Vitaly as he shares personal tips and cooking techniques. You will learn to prepare dishes using seasonal ingredients and develop the curiosity to try something unusual. Satisfaction is realized from the simplicity of preparing an out of the ordinary dish.
Vitaly and his wife take you on a journey into their world in Portland, Oregon through anecdotes and magnificent illustrations. Of course, what is a great menu without a properly paired wine? Kimberly is exceptional in balancing her wine selections with Vitaly's culinary creations.
intelligent and compassionate December 1, 2008
Paley's Place cookbook is what an ideal cookbook should be. It is not just a mere collection of recipes arranged by categories, but a book that presents a man's life passion. The author Vitaly Paley,who is also a chef of his famous restaurant The Paley's Place in Portland, Oregon, offers us an impressive array of trusted recipes that have proved to be succesful. But what I like most about this book is that Vitaly has succeeded in creating a larger picture and has set down his philosophy about the wholesome creation and enjoyment of food; that is, going back to our roots, using foods that are grown locally and organically, within their proper season, and respecting our farmers and winemakers. I found it telling that a recipe is named after one of his farmers George.
This book is compassionately written, beautifully illustrated and tastefully arranged. It is by far the best book in my large collection of cookbooks.
A Must-Have American Cookbook November 28, 2008

From the moment you pick up The Paley's Place Cookbook, you'll feel transported to Oregon, home of French-trained Chef Vitaly Paley and his wife Kimberly. The essays and recipes in their cookbook are full of life and flavor. One of my favorites is a heartwarming essay called "Why French Fries are American" followed by an easy and tasty recipe for american french fries and mustard aioli. Other recipes to try include the "Curried Butternut Squash and Pear Bisque" and the "Roast Beef Culotte Harvest Vegetables and Oxtail Broth." Both dishes received enthusiastic requests for seconds from my family whom all possess discerning palettes.
Beautiful illustrations and straightforward delicious recipes make The Paley's Place Cookbook an important addition to any culinary collection.
A great learning tool and a long awaited delight. November 25, 2008
Hearing about the wonderful Paleys Place Bistro in Portland made me want to pack my bags and take a trip across the country just to try their food. With this cookbook, I can not only try the amazing food Vitaly Paley serves at his restaurant, I can make it myself!
As an avid baker, I was very happy to see an extensive section on cakes, cookies, and even ice cream! The recipes are easy to read, and Vitaly adds his own personal touch to many recipes in the book with personal stories from his past. I have already tried out his Thumbprint Cookies recipe and am excited to try the Pecan carrot cake with Plumped cherries for Thanksgiving.
This cookbook will not only give me a chance to greatly improve my baking skills, it will help me develop my cooking skills with excitingly complex dishes and variations on Russian dishes that I grew up with.
Wonderful Book November 25, 2008
Paley's Place Cookbook is a delight to the eye, and the recipes are a delight to the palate. I have shelves of cookbooks at home, so I am jaded, I must admit. I bought this book because I had had a fabulous meal at Paley's Place restaurant in Portland, Oregon, and was curious about what was underneath it all. I didn't expect to find recipes that I could actually follow successfully! And for the cook just starting out, the books draws you in with its information about the region, the products, and, therefore, the life in the Northwest. This is a great book to give as a gift, to learn from as a cook, and to take pleasure in as a reader.
