"The book you are holding exudes the vitality and poetry of Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani. Just looking at the gorgeous photographs is not enough. You must take this book into the kitchen and begin cooking. Only then will you be able to experience the sheer brilliance and genuine passion of Hiro and Lissa's cuisine."
                                        Charlie Trotter

"Cooking with fresh, local ingredients in Napa Valley is what makes Hiro and Lissa's food so delicious, but it is the diversity of the recipes that makes this book so accessible and inviting."
                                       Alice Waters

"Hiro and Lissa's Terra restaurant is a culinary haven in the Napa Valley, and with this book, we are very fortunate that they share their passion, technique, and love for food with all of us."

 Just over a decade 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, 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.
