* Description * Every September during harvest season, the Cakebread family invites five up-and-coming chefs and a host of local farmers to their winery for a weekend of tasting, talking, cooking, and sharing. A whirlwind short course in winemaking, viticulture, and artisan food production, the American Harvest Workshop heats up as the sun goes down. Each evening, the chefs come together to plan and execute two multicourse dinners using a market basket of ingredients from the Cakebreads' favorite purveyors. In The Cakebread Cellars American Harvest Cookbook, Jack, Dolores, and culinary director Brian Streeter present 100 recipes and wine pairings developed by workshop chefs and the winery in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of this groundbreaking annual event. These spectacular dishes--from appetizers to entrees and desserts--are adapted for home cooking in this delicious exploration of Napa Valley's food and wine culture. Many of the world's leading chefs have attended the workshop and their recipes are here, including Gary Danko's Mediterranean Summer Vegetable Gratin, Nancy Oakes's Warm Chopped Liver Crostini with White Truffle Oil, Hubert Keller's Proven�al Garlic and Saffron Soup, and Alan Wong's Pan-Seared Sturgeon with Thai Red Curry. For dessert, just try to choose between Charlie Trotter's Chocolate-Praline Bread Pudding with Cinnamon Cream and Marcel Desaulnier's Caramel-Banana-Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Guidelines for wine and food pairing are presented along with profiles of the winery's finest purveyors, from Cowgirl Creamery and Hog Island Oyster Company to Liberty Ducks, Broken Arrow Ranch, and ted Calf. This unique collection celebrates a quarter century of workshops--and the chefs, winemakers, and farmers who come together each year to cook, eat, and drink from the bounty of Napa's vibrant wine country.Number of Pages: 201 Genre: Cooking + Food + Wine Sub-Genre: Beverages Format: Hardcover Publisher: Ten Speed Press Book theme: Alcoholic, General Author: Jack Cakebread Language: English Estimated shipping dimensions: 8.3INCH X 10.19INCH X 1.0INCH DPCI : 247-06-2913 UPC : 9781607740131 TCIN : 13554622 Estimated shippimg weight: 2.49POUND
