Caprial Pence

Caprial's Bistro is one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. I also love her on her tv show and have learned a lot by watching her (I am indebted to her for fixing my pie crust -- I needed to use more water, as I learned from one show).

Of course, I'm not a world-class chef; she is. She must have secret ways (yes, called "talent") that makes things taste super yummy.… (mais)
