Pear Panache is an award-winning program that honors chefs who create delicious recipes using fresh Northwest pears. Now in its third season, Pear Panache has recognized chefs coast-to-coast and tasted the delicious fruits of their labor, yummy pear-inspired cocktails, soups, salads, appetizers, entrees and desserts.

This season, Harvest PR and Pear Bureau Northwest decided to mix it up and add a new feature to the Web site. Instead of just reading a recipe, visitors to the site can actually watch some of the award-winning chefs prepare their original recipes via “PearCast.”
