Fried Chicken and Champagne

Redmond, Washington-Lisa Dupar has a secret. Well actually, many secrets...which readers will love curling up with, giggling over and then taking to the kitchen when they read the award winning chef s new book, Fried Chicken & Champagne: A Romp Through the Kitchen at Pomegranate Bistro. Born in Mexico, Southern bred and now a firmly transplanted Pacific Northwesterner, she knows how to spin a tale that is more like an ongoing conversation with a close friend. Dupar, who is as well known nationally for her unparalleled reputation as a caterer, as she is as a top restaurateur, released her cookbook November 10th, which is available at select bookstores as well as at her Redmond restaurant, Pomegranate Bistro.
