More sophisticated and restrained is the Hedgerose Heights Inn, where the chef-partner, Heinz Schwab, executes stylish versions of his native Swiss dishes, along with delicate nouvelle inventions. His most celebrated dishes: his version of the Russian meat-filled turnovers, known as piroshki, which he nestles on an herbaceous bearnaise sauce; roast breast of pheasant with Swiss chard and a mellow stew of apples and pears; and roseate medallions of venison with wild mushrooms and a cream-lightened game sauce. Only the spaetzle are too dry, and the classic Swiss potato pancake, roesti, lacks the , characteristic crispness. Nearby...

After three years in training jobs, Pence took over as chef in 1987. Now she turns out dishes that are as delicious as they are pretty, among them a colorful spinach salad with warm duck and orange sections topped with a rosette of Japanese red pickled ginger, and mellow ravioli filled with crab meat and hazelnuts. Born in Pasco, Wash., and trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., Pence believes that Seattle is just...
...Warhol's stash of 152 cookie jars, mass-produced pottery from the 1930s and '40s in cutesy animal and cartoon motifs. At one point, two Manhattan businessmen faced off over two cookie jars and a pair of salt and pepper shakers in the form of a black chef and his wife. The final bid: $23,100 for a lot whose value Sotheby's had estimated at $100 to $150. "Spiritually, they are just wonderful," gushed Maria Olivia Judelson, wife of the victor. If so, then Cuban-born Businessman Gedalio Grinberg was truly exalted. He bought 136 of the cookie jars...
