Drink With Us - An insider's guide to Oregon Wine Country

The Painted Kitchen Cookbook with Chef Allen Routt

We're sitting down with Chef Allen Routt of The Painted Lady in Newberg—Oregon Wine Country's longest-running fine dining restaurant, recognized by both Forbes and AAA for two decades. In 2025, Chef Allen and his wife Jessica celebrated 20 years of The Painted Lady, and over the past year, we've been working on something special: The Painted Kitchen, a 232-page cookbook featuring over 100 signature recipes, winemaker profiles, and stories from the artisans who've helped shape this region. Today we're talking about two decades of cooking in wine country—the relationships, the evolution, and what keeps Chef Allen inspired after all these years.
