Dishing Up the Dirt Cauliflower Tahini Dip

Andrea Bemis and her husband started farming in the upper Hood River Valley near Parkdale in 2012.

In her spare time – between growing 6 acres of vegetables to supply Tumbleweed Farms CSA subscribers, a weekly farmers market, and restaurant kitchens – Andrea wrote a couple of cookbooks. And she had a baby.

Her newest, Local Dirt, offers stories and recipes about cooking with products grown and caught around the Pacific Northwest. Andrea’s recipes coax lots of flavor from a handful of ingredients, and her creative takes on traditional classics make the familiar seem new.
