Greatly expanded, with sixteen pages in stunning full color, multi-award winning author, chef and publisher Kathleen DeVanna Fish outdoes herself in this new, completely revised and updated edition of one of Bon Vivant Press's most popular perennial cookbook-guidebooks.The ethnic and cultural heritage of the Napa Valley is rich with German, French and Italian influences, as well as the influence of the Chinese, who came to California during the Gold Rush. The rich heritage of Napa Valley wines led inevitably to extraordinary food. The fertile soil produced a lavish bounty of crops. The combination of fine wines and fine ingredients survive to this day in the abundant tastes of Napa Valley.The Sonoma Valley, immortalized by Jack London when he translated its original Indian name, The Valley of the Moon, has not always been the tranquil paradise that it is today. Sonoma County was first spotted in 1775 by the Spanish, when Juan Francisco Bodega sailed into the Bay that still bears his name. Russians colonized Ross, a rocky inlet north of Bodega Bay, but sold their holdings to John Sutter when they faced bankruptcy after decimating the sea otter population. The Bear Flag revolt took place here, and some of the most colorful Gold Rush lore still abounds. In addition to the sumptuous recipes, you can read about these events in this book.But the heart of this book is food and wine. We've gathered over 225 recipes, secrets of the great chefs of the region, which we've simplified for the home cook. Each of these recipes is as do-able as they are delectable -- and with sixteen pages of full-color plates, you can behold the bounty that you'll be proud to place on your table.Likethe wines it celebrates, this treasure trove of useful, delicious, mouth-watering and tempting information will become more valuable and precious as time goes on.
