” by Romney Steele.I received a review copy of this from the Amazon Vine product review program. I had never heard of this famous restaurant in the Big Sur. I was tempted to read it because of a few rave reviews I saw at the time saying it had great recipes with good stories mixed with artistic photographs. I love great recipes, great photos, and great storytelling (especially memoir).
I had just been too busy to pick the book up and do a read through cover to cover. To be honest I have not finished it yet but am working on it. Indeed it is filled with stories, memoir type stories written by one of the grandsons of the creators of the restaurant. He was raised on the property and grew up with the restaurant in full swing. Yes the photos are lovely and artistic (think: Martha Stewart Living). The recipes are mouth watering.
My only complaint is the thick matte paper doesn’t do the photos justice. It really would look better on glossy paper I think.
Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book through the Amazon Vine product review program. I was not paid to blog about this book. For my blog's full disclosure statement see the link at the top of my blog's sidebar.
