John Brown,
local author of The Irreverent Kitchen, has spent almost thirty
years collecting recipes and enjoying exotic people, places and
food. He has worked, lived and traveled extensively, particularly
throughout Asia and South Asia, as well as the U.S., indulging a
passion for different cultures and culinary traditions. John’s
vibrant enthusiasm for good food and interesting people
permeates his cooking and his teaching. His interest is in dishes prepared in homes and "locals only" spots. If you’re
looking for him at mealtime, try the home of a friend in Sri
Lanka, an Italian grandmother’s kitchen in Brooklyn, a hawker
stall in Singapore, a side street café in Kathmandu, a pho
noodle shop in Vientiane or a local hole in the wall vegetarian
restaurant in Mumbai. That’s where you’ll find the real food and
the real cooks and that’s what he enjoys sharing. John believes
that preparing, eating and sharing food should be a fun
experience, maybe even a little irreverent, and his approach
demonstrates how easy that can be. John has taught numerous
classes on various subjects throughout the U.S. and overseas. John holds a B.S. in Agricultural Economics from Cornell University and an M.S. in Government from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. John retired back to Bellingham after a twenty-year absence
and is convinced that you just won’t find a better place to
live. A fine selection of locally available ingredients lets him
recreate and share with friends the meals and experiences that
he enjoyed around the world. Our excellent Washington State
wines provide an additional vehicle for exploration and sharing.
When John isn’t prowling local markets for interesting
ingredients or chopping, slicing and dicing in the kitchen,
you’ll probably find him doing a bit of catch and release fly
fishing or reading and researching to remain current on
international relations. |
