Fall Fruits Week

Week

In the shadow of Mt. Hood and in the valleys of Southern Oregon, fresh pears and apples signal the start of fall. Chef Kathy Watson followed her dream, leaving the corporate world behind for the kitchen at Nora’s Table in Hood River. This week she travels to Kiyokawa Family Orchards in the Hood River Valley to pick pears and create a fall fruit delicacy.

Featured Recipe:

Noisettes of Oregon Rockfish with Pears & Chanterelle Mushrooms

Fish and pears? That’s right, and chanterelles, too. It’s a truly fall combination of iconic edibles from our ocean, forests and valleys.
