This is Camino
where the chef/owners have definite opinions and are purists. Only and always organic. If something is too expensive, do without it. When trying burdock for the first time, the chef refused to "google," preferring to discover the joys of burdock by trial and error. Nothing is wasted.
Enjoyed reading about fried farro as a healthier substitution for fried rice. I can't cook in a whole open fire -- no facilities. Like Moore and Hopelain, I too have more of a figleaf tree than a fig tree (varmint! drought) so it is nice to find some recipes where I can grill the fig leaves. The photographs are inviting and their strong point of view inspires new ideas.
Not sure I'll make many of these recipes. You'll definitely want to eat at the restaurant after reading this cookbook. The chef/owners are committed to doing their best to please your palate and feed your soul.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
