Volkman's Favorite Dish: 'The miniature mason jars of Dungeness crab pot pie are adorable and just as tasty as they sound. The dish perfectly balances the comfort and heartiness of a pot pie with a rich and sophisticated brandy cream sauce with a mirepoix of vegetables. The top and bottom crust offer texture contrast, since the top crust was a flakey butter pastry and the bottom crust was layered Yukon gold scalloped potatoes. The dish makes you feel loved as you eat it!'

'Des and Chris were great about allowing their vendors the chance to be creative and do what they do best,' says Volkman. 'With us, they knew they wanted to share a menu that featured the wonderful local Northwest ingredients, but were open to how it was done.'

The center of the soiree was centered on the four-letter word defined here and all the warmth and comfort that love brings.

In line with wedding-dessert trends, the last course featured a table with an array of sweets including this pear tart, caramel popcorn, and fruit jellies.
