 The dishes prepared by Phil Harris are inventive without any raw edges. His preparations are thoughtful, balanced and delicately unusual, as they are sprinkled with fresh herbs or zests of citrus or subtly enhanced with ginger, garlic or exotic spices. He concentrates on pleasing the body as well as the palate, with healthy infusions of organic produce, fish, poultry and meats, taking advantage of the many seasonal offerings from the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. After finishing a meal Phil has prepared, the pleasurable experience of dining leaves my body feeling satisfied and clean - never overwhelmed by heaviness, even though I tend to dine well and thoroughly.
Soul Kitchen Catering has regularly been providing delicious weekly meals for me for the past six months. Phil's dedication to the FLOSS (Fresh, Local, Organic, Seasonal, Sustainable) theory enables him to create dishes that are not only nourishing for the body but for the soul as well. He is a perfect resource for the busy professional who wants to eat healthfully and well without the hassle of planning and preparing the meals at home.
We were fortunate enough to have Phil Harris and Soul Kitchen provide the catering for our wedding in September 2006. We were hoping to find a caterer who could do an all vegetarian dinner for about 100 people, using locally grown, organic produce, and Phil provided exactly what we needed. Before finding Phil, we received quotes from several other caterers but were unhappy with their menu selections and their associated prices. As soon as we met with Phil we knew that we wanted him to caterer our wedding. Phil is committed to providing local, organic, and tasty food and worked with us to develop the menu that we wanted. Many people that attended our wedding are not vegetarian, but they found the food to be tasty, fulfilling, and enjoyable. When we think back to our wedding, one of our best memories was how wonderful the food tasted. Phil gave incredible thought and care to each course he prepare d and his service was extremely professional. We would highly recommend him to anyone that is planning a special event.

Thank you so much for providing the Art in the Pearl board members with such a special meal during our retreat last Saturday. We loved every wonderful thought out touch that you added to our great lunch feast. You came at a perfect time to set up and were thoughtful about not interrupting our meeting in a fairly small space and put together a terrific meal for us. Everything was not only delicious and nutritious, but it also made us all feel like we were experiencing a unique culinary event. We all appreciated how thoughtful you were about treating a couple people's allergies seriously and planning the meal accordingly. It gave us the inspiration, stamina, and "soul" to have a great afternoon of good work on improving the Art in the Pearl.
In short, delicious!
