    If you love books, walking into Powell’s Books in Portland, Oregon is like stepping into a dream!

    The giant, glowing billboard leads you into room after room of unexpected treasures, hidden corners, and rare finds. What else would you expect from the world’s largest independent bookstore! From new releases to signed first-editions to a fabulous rare book collection, there is definitely something for everyone here.
    Tables stacked with new releases beckon when you enter, but push on. You will find yourself in an entire room of History and Philosophy; or maybe you will get lost in the massive Mystery and True Crime sections. Books are often accompanied by recommendations from the amazing Powell’s Books staff. You’ll learn obscure facts about books (did you know Daniel Radcliffe loves Mikael Bulgakov?) and find new favorites from some of your favorite authors.

    Over 1 million books means you will not leave empty-handed. You won’t be alone when you stroll the aisles with a basket full of books and find yourself loading them up like groceries! You need these books! You love these books! A visit to Powell’s means you are among friends.
    No visit would be complete without an adventure into Powell’s Rare Book Room. Only open from 11-7, this is a don’t-miss corner of the store. You might find hours have passed while you settled into the warm, wood-paneled room. You can explore (and buy) thousands of rare books from around the world. Illustrated natural histories from hundreds of years ago sit near first-editions of your favorite childhood stories. Gilt-edged encyclopedias compete for your attention. And don’t be afraid to touch! The always-helpful staff will help you explore the entire collection.

    The next time you are in Portland, resist the urge to shop Amazon and save your book-love for the one and only Powell’s Books.

    My specialty is cooking restaurant style food at home. I love to cook for family, fun, creativity & self care.

    Where to start? Get my secrets to making pizza at home and feel like a true home chef with my sous vide recipes.

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook. And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.
