Description

The Winds Cafe Restaurant, Bakery, and Wine Store, 215 Xenia Ave. Yellow Springs, OH 45387, The Winds started out as a collectively owned and operated cafe, actually called The Four Winds, in 1977. It was a sincere, funky little place that grew its own sprouts, made its own yogurt, and baked bread everyday in an old pizza oven acquired for a dollar. The kitchen was presided over by a gifted cook named Iko Wright, who put dishes on the menu that ranged from traditional French to Japanese specialties. Iko taught us how to make omelettes in French iron pans, stirfry woks full of chicken cashew, and poach scallops and shrimp in wine heated to a just a whisper of a simmer. Her teaching of correct technique, and how to taste, along with her personality and storytelling ability over beers after work, made her a profound influence on young cooks in their first restaurant job. She was the soul of the restaurant in its early days, a real original, and she inspired a level of dedication to cooking that has gotten stronger and stronger over the years. Interweave Web Design,
