About The Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Cookbook: Wine
Product Description When Dolores and Jack Cakebread bought their ranch in 1972, they didn't know a thing about growing grapes or making wine. As they began building their family business one bottle at a time, they focused on one simple philosophyÄîthat food and wine should be enjoyed in the company of good friends. Today, Cakebread wines are enjoyed in fine restaurants around the world and Cakebread Cellars is a destination winery offering award-winning labels, a series of renowned culinary events, and welcome haven for friends new and old.In THE CAKEBREAD CELLARS NAPA VALLEY COOKBOOK, Dolores and Jack team with resident chef Brian Streeter to share more than 120 seasonal recipes and wine suggestions perfected in the Cakebread kitchen over the past 30 years. Using produce plucked from Dolores's garden and featuring fresh ingredients from Napa's artisan food purveyors, the Cakebreads share such seasonal masterpieces as Sea Scallops with Sweet Corn, Roasted Peppers, and Shiitake Mushrooms, and Roast Pork Loin with Apple Brandy and Whole-Grain Mustard Sauce.Woven throughout is the story of Dolores and Jack, who along with their three sons and three daughters-in-law, managed to turn an old cow pasture into one of Napa's premier wineries. Featuring Jack's archival winery photographs and contemporary location and food photography, THE CAKEBREAD CELLARS NAPA VALLEY COOKBOOK reflects the Cakebreads' devotion to each other, to the business, and to bringing folks together to celebrate every season's harvest.More than 120 recipes and wine pairings from one of Napa Valley's venerable wine families.

However, for many readers, these pages will read more like a promotional tool. The rest of the book, which is divided into eight sections-each of which is further divided into quarters based on the season-offers a significant array of familiar American bistro style recipes. The dishes, most of which were introduced to restaurant tables during the 1990s, are familiar and casual. Examples are Warm Goat Cheese Salad with Pancetta, Shaved Fennel and Sliced Pears; and Couscous with Currants and Toasted Almonds.
