An Emotional Connection in Seattle<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

\nEXECUTIVE CHEF EMMANUEL CALDERON, GOLDFINCH TAVERN<\/a><\/p>\n

His Most Memorable Ingredient:<\/strong> \u201cWhen I think of achiote, also known as annatto seeds, I\u2019m taken back to my childhood and some of my favourite dishes from Mexico\u2019s Yucat\u00e1n Peninsula, like cochinita pibil \u2013 slow-roasted pork that gets its vivid orange colour from a citrus-achiote marinade \u2013 and pescado \u00e0 la tikin xic \u2013 fish marinated in achiote and sour oranges, then wrapped in banana leaves and roasted. Achiote reminds me of grilling fresh-caught fish at the beach with family or stopping for torta de cochinita pibil with my friends after a night out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How It Inspires Him: <\/strong>\u201cAchiote isn\u2019t just the main ingredient of some of my favourite dishes, it is a perfect complement to other ingredients I love, like fresh seafood and habanero peppers, so it\u2019s easy to use it. The most important thing to me is to share the emotions that the ingredients inspire. I want guests to remember not just the specific dish but also the special moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

His Can\u2019t-Miss Dining Experience: <\/strong>\u201cWe\u2019re very fortunate to have a world-class market just a block away. Join me for a shopping trip to Pike Place Market, where we\u2019ll find ingredients that will inspire us to create a one-of-a-kind, multi-course menu just for you and your guests. It\u2019s a beautiful trip to an iconic Seattle market that will become one of the best parts of your day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
