Comfortable, Yet Sophisticated Wine Country Food

Coming from quite a pedigree (son of Peter Kump and having worked with the likes of Robuchonn and Jacques Cagna) the young chef is hired and then marries the ownder of Cafe Beujolais.Margaret Fox has produced books on this restaurants Morning Food and another, and here collaborates with her chef/husband on Evening Recipes.Organized into classic dining sequence of Appetizers to Desserts, there are some good recipes in here to try: Buckwheat Hazelnut Bread; Toasted Goat Cheese Salad; Pear and Apple Crisp; Bittersweet Chocolate Raspberry Milefeuilles; and a Roast Cornish Hen with Apricot Marsala Sauce that is superb!What I enjoy about this is the sidebar discussion that accompanies each recipe. Here is told about its development, technique, tips, etc.
