Lovely book. Recipes are not exactly what mom would cook--at least not *my* mom. More what you would find in a trendy, upscale restaurant in Sonoma. Gorgeous photos. (Example of recipe names: Roasted Fig with Rosemary, Goat Cheese, and Pancetta; Salt-Roasted Mussels with Pimiento Dipping Sauce; Roasted Root Vegetables in Filo Packets; Stir-Fried Eggplant and Tofu with Garlic and Chiles; Pork and Nopales Stew with Purslane and Cilantro; Penne with Sauteed Radicchio, Fennel, and Prosciutto. My copy is like-new.
