Chef’s Kitchen
Each month we bring a guest chef into our Chef’s Kitchen column to give us a
tip that elevates their cooking (and hopefully ours). They also provide a recipe
that showcases their tip. Our guest chef this month is Olivar Owner and Executive Chef
Philippe Thomelin. Olivar opened in 2008 in the historic Loveless Building on
Capitol Hill.
 Philippe
started cooking at home in France's Loire Valley at the age of 10. By
14, he was working in a local restaurant and at 16 attending the
culinary program at Saumur. He has worked around the world--France,
Spain, England, US--at small and large restaurants with all types of
food. He married a Seattle-ite and began his Seattle career, working at
Il Terrazzo Carmine and Cascadia before opening Olive Tree Catering and
then Olivar.
Perfect gnocchi
By Executive Chef Philippe Thomelin
Gnocchi can be a tricky thing--the texture has to be just right. You need to
cook the potatoes with enough salt. This helps with drying the potatoes and
means you'll need to use less flour in the process.
