At the Taste of WSU event, visitors sampled from the bounty of Washington-produced beverages and fine foods prepared by several of the Seattle area’s premier chefs.

A delicious meal may seem like magic, but often it is the result of close collaborations between scientists, farmers, chefs and consumers.
