Dear Food Editor:

This spring's press kit from the Oregon Raspberry and Blackberry Commission gives your readers ideas for delicious ways to brighten up any special event. Each of these two featured recipes includes photos and special tips to use in sidebar information.

• Lavender Panna Cotta with Marionberry Compote
  Panacotta is a creamy and decadent Italian dessert meaning "cooked cream."
  The lavender flowers add a delicate taste and the Marionberry compote
  completes the dessert with a complex earthy sweetness straight from Oregon.
  
  
• Lemon Ginger Cake with Blackberry Curd Filling
  Nothing completes a special occasion like a golden cake with snowy white
  icing and a tart creamy filling. This one brings the spicy warmth of ginger
  and a unique twist on curd that brings the jewel tones and sweet taste of
  blackberries to the mix. 
  

While Oregon Marionberries are available frozen across the country,
your readers may substitute fresh or frozen blackberries in both
these recipes with excellent results.

We look forward to hearing from you, and should you require additional
recipes or further information just contact Cat McKenzie, Marketing Director using the form below.
