All photos by Eva Kosmas Flores

For June's oyster social, we're so pleased to have a dear and wonderful friend in the house. Eva Kosmas Flores is a quadruple threat. She's a celebrated photographer who gardens, cooks and shares recipes and inspirations from her life in the Pacific Northwest through her blog, Adventures in Cooking. She also happens to be one of the kindest, most humble and supportive people we know.

We are lucky to collaborate with Eva in a variety of ways--from Secret Supper events to cooking for her photography and foodstyling workshops around the world--and now, as a special guest in our dining room, where we will celebrate her new cookbook, First We Eat.

Eva's cookbook is not only ravishingly beautiful (see below for proof!) but is also packed with mouthwatering recipes inspired by her garden, the seasons and the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. Together we will feature dishes from her new book and Eva will be on hand throughout the evening to chat with you and sign copies of First We Eat.

Eva is planning to prepare spring pea hummus on pita to celebrate her Greek heritage, as well as whiskey glazed jasmine rolls for a sweet ending. Yum! We'll be popping a selection of the freshest NW oysters, of course, as well as preparing a few other tasty recipes from Eva's glorious book.

The super suave Matt from Merit Badge will be behind the bar, shaking up refreshing cocktails, including a seasonal libation from First We Eat.

Join us!  No reservations necessary, just drop by for a la carte selections and restaurant-style seating. Hope to see you at the table, friends.
