Cookbook
Two decades ago, Spago-trained chefs Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani traded in their high-profile jobs at two top Los Angeles restaurants for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to create the first world-class restaurant in the charming town of St. Helena, nestled in the heart of the Napa Valley. They christened the restaurant Terra, in tribute to the very earth from which all of Napa's greatest gifts arise. Word spread quickly about the duo's extraordinary cooking and hospitality, and Terra, from its home in a century-old fieldstone foundry, became known as the quintessential Napa dining experience. In Terra Cooking From the Heart of the Napa Valley, over 175 recipes from the restaurant's standing and seasonal menus showcase the chefs' sophisticated, yet eminently playful and deeply personal cuisine. Their eclectic repertoire can be loosely characterized as Southern French and Northern Italian with a Japanese sensibility--but as the products of Hiro's and Lissa's heritages, travels, memories, and individual tastes, these harmoniously balanced dishes are best described as autobiographical. In TERRA, Hiro and Lissa present their favorite appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, desserts, and more. Sample Recipes: Grilled Fillet of Pacific Salmon with Thai Red Curry Sauce and Basmati Rice Sautéed Strawberries in Cabernet Sauvignon and Black Pepper Sauce with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Ordering Information Terra Cooking From the Heart of the Napa Valley is available here at the restaurant and at your local bookstore.
