About The GastroGnome

Being a GastroGnome is not about sitting idly on the front lawn of culinary cottages, but rather, it is about exploration into the wide world of culinary creations. The GastroGnome is always on the look out for something new: There is no animal part too scary, no dining method to exotic. And after she eats, she tells. The GastroGnome is a daring cook as much as she is a daring eater, and after many delicious meals, she tries to recreate them in her home kitchen. You can contact the GastroGnome: naomibishop at gmail.com

The GastroGnome lives in a troll cottage nestled on a hill in the scenic setting of Seattle, Washington. When she’s not creating concoctions in her kitchen or seeking the latest savory sensation, you can find her enjoying some fresh air while coaching for the local ski racing team.

If you think she’s awesome and would like to read more of her writing, you can find it on the ‘More GastroGnome’ page.

    I FOUND it!!! The link on the touchy waiter brought me right here.

    Lots to do out and about today, but I’ll look forward to this evening, spent with all these luscious words and pictures.

    This is great. I’m always excited to see other people in Seattle that are excited about food.

    Naomi — So good to meet you yesterday. I would have loved to have talked more. (For instance, among other connections, I have spent three summers in Peru, including the Northern coast.) Thanks for the introduction to some more great dishes at Chiangs.

    I love your site — I had to bookmark it on my blog. The tamales are adorable and all the bright colors in the photos are just lovely. Hooray for Northwest foodies!
