    The Story of Riane

    Told by Mo

    One of the first and most memorable meals I shared with Riane was over a bottle of chilled chardonnay and a steaming pot of fondue. With nearly ten women on her guest list, Riane whipped up the yummiest beer and mustard fondue I’ve ever had. This cook must have known the way to a crow’s heart is undoubtedly through cheese! Needless to say, our friendship continued to grow from there.

    Hailing from the great state of Oregon Riane Welch grew up loving the outdoors. Her love of Mother Nature shows in her cooking, as Riane is one of the fiercest grilling machines that ever walked the earth. Combining summer sun with a grilled meal can only lead to success as Riane has showed us with dishes such as giant portobellos topped with manchego and spinach, juicy flavorful burgers and seafood skewers. The adventurous Riane has also been known to add a little Asian flair to her meals with her spring rolls, hand-rolled sushi and delicious stir-frys.

    Have I mentioned this Crow’s love affair with mushrooms? As far as Riane is concerned, the more mushrooms the merrier! The same can be said of her company-Riane loves to cook for big groups (as all Crows do) and whether it’s fondue, sushi or a big mushroom soup, this crow can whip up a family style meal in two shakes of a lambs tail! Her adventurous attitude towards food and her generous nature make cooking with Riane a true pleasure to anyone who has the chance to team up with her in the kitchen.
